Reads like a spy novel

This is a phenomenal story phenomenally told. The narrator is equally as excellent for the audio book. I was on the edge of my seat; highly recommended.

Today, most Westerners still see the war in Afghanistan as a contest between democracy and Islamist fanaticism. That war is real, but it sits atop an older struggle between Kabul and the countryside, between order and chaos, between a modernist impulse to join the world and the pull of an older Afghanistan - a tribal universe of village republics permeated by Islam. Now, Tamim Ansary draws on his Afghan background, Muslim roots, and Western and Afghan sources to explain history from the inside out and to illuminate the long, internal struggle that the outside world has never fully understood.

This is an excellent book, written by an Afghan-American who really understands his ancestral homeland and its inhabitants in a way that nation after invading nation never tried to. It was written in 2012, though, and it's super depressing to hear the authors hopeful tone about some of the progress in Afghanistan, especially with regards to woman, knowing how it stands now with all the recent news about the Taliban taking back over and woman getting kicked back out of...pretty much everything. It's wild how well he unknowingly predicted the disaster that was the American withdrawal, based on his knowledge of how every other foreign intervention in Afghanistan ended. I still believe we had to invade because of bin Laden-September 11 was just too horrific to not pursue the nation that allowed him and his murderous ideas to flourish-but we shouldn't have messed around trying to "nation build" in our image in yet another place that is nothing like us and doesn't really want us there. Afghanistan really is the "Graveyard of Empires," and the powers that be in the U.S. should have done their homework before we rolled up in there.
Highly recommended.
