  • "Provides a brief history of Afghanistan since 1500 B.C., looks at the cultural and ethnic traditions of the country's major regions and cities, features a selection of topical essays, and includes general travel advice and maps."
  • ""Thanks to 20 years of civil war and its association with terrorism, Afghanistan is now unjustly thought of in the West as a barbarous backwater. Afghanistan: A Companion and Guide aims to dispel this image in a comprehensive introduction to 3,500 years of Afghan culture. Starting with a full history of the country from 1500BC, each chapter looks at the major cities and regions, describing their distinctive cultural and ethnic traditions, their associations with poets, artists, musicians, travelers and holy men, as well as warriors and conquerors" -- publisher website (August 2007)."
