内容説明

An examination of the history of war in Afghanistan, showing how the armed resistance has affected the lives of ordinary people. It gives examples of how people are rebuilding their lives and are maintaining the bonds of family and tradition, despite the suffering and poverty. Because of its strategic position, Afghanistan became a setting for a "proxy war" between Russia and the Western powers during the 1980s. Since the withdrawal of Russian troups in 1989, and a consequent loss of interest on the part of Western countries, Afghanistan has seen the rise of local militia leaders, a slow disintegration of central government and a descent into anarchy. More recently the Taliban, a strict and dogmatic Islamic force, have extended their power over most of the country. Chris Johnson is author of "Women on the Frontline".
