These books will build for you a general (non-hollywood/ Fox News) image of the Afghan people and society: 'The Kite Runner', 'The Bookseller of Kabul', 'A Thousand Splendid Suns', 'Valley of the Giant Buddhas', 'A History of Modern Afghanistan' For a more thorough analysis of what has been going on on 'other' fronts, I recommend the two books by Ahmad Rashid: 'Descent into Chaos: The United States and the Failure of Nation Building in Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Central Asia' and 'Taliban: Militant Islam, Oil and Fundamentalism in Central Asia' Don't start with those CIA/ Military books.

These books will build for you a general (non-hollywood/ Fox News) image of the Afghan people and society:

'The Kite Runner',
'The Bookseller of Kabul',
'A Thousand Splendid Suns',
'Valley of the Giant Buddhas',
'A History of Modern Afghanistan'

For a more thorough analysis of what has been going on on 'other' fronts, I recommend the two books by Ahmad Rashid:

'Descent into Chaos: The United States and the Failure of Nation Building in Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Central Asia'

and

'Taliban: Militant Islam, Oil and Fundamentalism in Central Asia'
