<p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br>A whole generation has grown up in Afghanistan knowing little but the ravages of war. The dramatic overthrow of the Taliban regime in 2001 was simply one event in a series of interrelated struggles which have blighted ordinary people's lives over the last three decades, and which continue to interfere with reconciliation and reconstruction. <p/>This new edition of The Afghanistan Wars provides a meticulously-documented history of these successive waves of conflict. It explores in detail: <br>- the roots of Afghanistan's slide into disorder in the late 1970s<br>- how the Soviet Union came to the rescue of unworthy clients and was then sucked into a quagmire<br>- the frightening consequences of state breakdown and self-interested meddling by Afghanistan's neighbours in the period after communist rule collapsed<br>- the rise and fall of the Taliban regime. <p/>Thoroughly revised in the light of the latest research, the second edition also features a new final chapter which examines post-Taliban Afghanistan, bringing the story up to the present day and mounting a strong case for continuing support for this troubled country.<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>WILLIAM MALEY is Professor and Director of the Asia-Pacific College of Diplomacy at The Australian National University, Australia.
