“The standard work in English on the Taliban.”—Christopher de Bellaigue, New York Review of Books
“Rashid spent 21 years compiling the data and interpretive materials in this
absorbing and disquieting book…. As the world enters an ominous stage of
history, Ahmed Rashid’s book can serve as an excellent primer, guide book
and briefng of what the future may hold.”
—Arnold Ages, Chicago Jewish Star
“A brilliant and absorbing explanation of the radical Islamic movement and
Afghanistan’s wretched situation, Taliban became required reading not just
for journalists, but for the world’s senior politicians.”
—Alex Spillius, Daily Telegraph
“An extensively researched analysis by a noted journalist….
A fascinating survey.”
—Joshua Sinai, Journal of Homeland Security
“Taliban… provides an important perspective untainted by excessive
emotion or jingoism. Rashid’s is an exceptional book that sorts out a
multitude of questions for the non–Central Asian specialist trying to make
sense of current headlines…. Rashid’s acute foresight produced a book that
—if taken seriously by U.S. policymakers at the time it was first published
— might have helped prevent a history-altering catastrophe.”
—Middle East Insight
“[Rashid is] Pakistan’s best and bravest reporter.” —Christopher Hitchens,
Vanity Fair
“This is a fine book—erudite, concise, sure-footed, packed with
information and insight, easy to read. On each of the three major
interrelated themes covered here—the history of the Taliban and the internal
politics of Afghanistan; Islam and the Taliban; the ‘new Great Game’ of oil
and gas in Central Asia— the author is illuminating and thorough.”
—Dilip Hiro, Middle East International
