| Description: |
Afghanistan before the the Russian invasion is the subject of this book. The author traces the main factors that have influenced Afghan history, society and culture, and the manner in which they have manifested themselves, from the stone-age to the beginning of the 1980s. |
| Synopsis: |
Afghanistan, written in 1973, looks at this age old land and country as it was before the Soviet invasion. It contains two epilogues; one written in 1978 and the other in 1980 right before the Soviet invasion. Afghanistan traces the development of this country from tribal and politically unstable towards a system of representative government consistent with its cultural and historical patterns. The book traces the socio-economic, cultural and political development of this rugged country and can serve as an indicator of things to come in this unsettled land. Apart from the narrative the author presents all this material to us through charts, maps and illustrations. It also contains appendices on music and calendars used in Afghanistan. |
