The Taliban's Rise to Power in Afghanistan
Following the U.S.-Taliban peace deal of February 2020 and the U.S.'s promised withdrawal from Afghanistan, the Taliban began terrorizing Afghan security forces, civilians, and the government in Kabul. By August 2021, the group had seized control of the entire country.
"The Taliban" is a New York Times bestseller by the award-winning journalist Ahmed Rashid. Now considered a modern classic, the book provides rare insight into the history of the Taliban, their political movement, their leaders, and their aims. This authoritative account is renowned for being able to explain one of the world's most extreme organizations from their inception in northern Pakistan in the early 1990s to their rise to power. In doing so, Rashid closely details their impact on Afghanistan, the Middle East, and Central Asia, and how and why the Taliban spread, including their relationship with both Al-Qaeda and the U.S.
The book has sold more than 1.5 million copies worldwide and has been translated into over 40 languages. This third edition marks twenty years since the U.S. invaded Afghanistan, and the author adds a new introduction to reflect on how the group regained their strength, the humanitarian crisis, and what Taliban rule is likely to mean for the region and the world.
