By August 2021, the group had seized control of the entire country. 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"--$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aPetroleum industry and trade$xPolitical aspects$zAsia, Central 606 $aIslam and politics$zAfghanistan 606 $aIslamic fundamentalism$zAfghanistan 607 $aAfghanistan$xPolitics and government$y20th century 615 0$aPetroleum industry and trade$xPolitical aspects 615 0$aIslam and politics 615 0$aIslamic fundamentalism 676 $a343.42078624 700 $aRashid$b Ahmed$0261699 801 0$bUkLoBP 801 1$bUkLoBP 801 2$bUkLoBP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910155254403321 996 $aTaliban$91247336 997 $aUNINA
