A new, definitive and highly readable account of this famous ship.

Offers both a coruscating exploration of the relationship between aid and power, and a history of Afghanistan through the prism of great power politics. Examining the interventions of the British in the 19th Century, the Soviets in 1979, and the US in 2001, this work brings to light information on the use of aid in pursuit of strategic objectives.

This book explores what the Taliban stand for and the factors leading to their rapid rise to dominance over Afghanistan.
