The Afghans: Three Lives Through War, Love And Revolt by Åsne Seierstad in Paperback

As told through the lives of three unforgettable individuals, The Afghans by Åsne Seierstad is an informative and thought-provoking book that explores Afghanistan's past, present, and future. Twenty years after the fall of the Taliban regime, Seierstad returns to the country with Jamila, Bashir, and Ariana, three Afghans whose lives have been shaped by the changing political climate. Through their stories, we gain insight into the social fabric of Afghan life and the events that led to the Taliban's recent return to power in 2021. With a professional and factual tone, Seierstad expertly documents the struggles and triumphs of these individuals and the impact of the Taliban's rule on Afghan society as a whole. Praise for Seierstad's work includes descriptions such as "masterpiece," "masterclass," and "meticulously documented," making her a supreme non-fiction writer in her generation.
