Afghanistan: The Mirage of Peace by Chris Johnson and Jolyon Leslie

Considered by many upon first publication to be too pessimistic, this analysis of the situation in Afghanistan has proved to be tragically accurate. This updated edition adds a new chapter to the 2004 original, exploring how claims of "success" have often proven to be hollow. As before, the analysis is rooted in the experience of ordinary Afghans and their relationship with their complex history.
