• Afghanistan (hardcover edition)

• Published by Greenhaven Press

Although previous governments have attempted to build a strong state to initiate economic development and modernization of Afghanistan, eventually Afghan state failed in the late twentieth century. This text highlights the rivalry between British India and Tsarist Russia over Afghansitan; new rivalry between the United States and the Soviet Union; Afghan social and cultural issues; lack of women contribution in the national development; and the draconian Taliban rule as major reasons for the failure of Afghan state.
