James Fergusson - Taliban
Following the Russian withdrawal from Afghanistan the
country was in chaos. In October 1994 a small group of
religious students decided to take matters into their own
hands. The Taliban, as they called themselves, fought with a
religious zeal that the warring Mujaheddin could not match.
By February 1995, they had become a national movement; 18
months later Kabul fell and the country was effectively theirs.
Fergusson's fascinating account of this extraordinary
story is essential for anyone who wishes to understand the
current situation in Afghanistan.
