What he reveals is astonishing: teeming refugee camps on the deeply contentious Pakistan-Afghanistan border; a war front that combines primitive fighters with the most technologically advanced weapons known to man; rigorous Islamic indoctrination academies; a land of minefields plagued by drought, fierce tribalism, insurmountable ethnic and religious divisions, an abysmal literacy rate, and legions of war orphans who seek stability in military brotherhood. Traveling alongside Islamic guerrilla fighters, sharing their food, observing their piety in the face of deprivation, and witnessing their determination, he offers a unique opportunity to increase our understanding of a people and a country that are at the center of world events. 001381266 60010 $$aKaplan, Robert D.,$$d1952-$$xTravel$$zAfghanistan. 001381266 60017 $$aKaplan, Robert D.,$$d1952-$$2fast$$0(OCoLC)fst00138494 001381266 647_7 $$aSoviet Occupation of Afghanistan$$c(Afghanistan :$$d1979-1989)$$2fast$$0(OCoLC)fst01355030 001381266 648_7 $$aSince 1900$$2fast 001381266 650_0 $$aJournalists$$zUnited States$$vBiography. 001381266 650_7 $$aJournalists.$$2fast$$0(OCoLC)fst00984188 001381266 650_7 $$aSocial conditions$$2fast$$0(OCoLC)fst01919811 001381266 650_7 $$aTravel.$$2fast$$0(OCoLC)fst01155558 001381266 651_0 $$aAfghanistan$$xHistory$$ySoviet occupation, 1979-1989$$vPersonal narratives. 001381266 651_0 $$aAfghanistan$$xSocial conditions$$y20th century. 001381266 651_0 $$aAfghanistan$$xHistory$$y1989- 001381266 651_7 $$aAfghanistan.$$2fast$$0(OCoLC)fst01205406 001381266 651_7 $$aUnited States.$$2fast$$0(OCoLC)fst01204155 001381266 651_4 $$aAfghanistan$$xSocial conditions$$y20th century. 001381266 651_4 $$aAfghanistan$$xHistory$$y1989- 001381266 655_7 $$aBiographies.$$2fast$$0(OCoLC)fst01919896 001381266 655_7 $$aHistory.$$2fast$$0(OCoLC)fst01411628 001381266 655_7 $$aPersonal narratives.$$2fast$$0(OCoLC)fst01423843 001381266 655_7 $$aPersonal narratives.$$2lcgft 001381266 852qq $$bgen 001381266 85641 $$3Sample text$$uhttp://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0905/2002278385-s.html 001381266 85642 $$3Contributor biographical information$$uhttp://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/bios/random054/2002278385.html 001381266 85642 $$3Publisher description$$uhttp://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/description/random047/2002278385.html 001381266 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1381266$$pGLOBAL_SET 001381266 980__ $$aBIB 001381266 980__ $$aBOOK 001381266 994__ $$aC0$$bISE
