Modern Afghanistan: A History of Struggle and Survival by Amin Saikal
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

An amazing read that had so many good historical insights. The author did an excellent job of laying out the various historical stages in Afghanistan's modern history--and in looking at the underlying reasons why each of them failed to live up to expectations, or how they shot themselves in the foot. Very insightful read.
