Taliban: Militant Islam, Oil and Fundamentalism in Central Asia

Correspondent Ahmed Rashid brings the shadowy world of the Talibanâ€”the worldâ€™s most extreme and radical Islamic organizationâ€”into sharp focus in this enormously insightful book.Â Rashid offers the only authoritative account of the Taliban available to English-language readers, explaining the Talibanâ€™s rise to power, its impact on Afghanistan and the Middle East and Central Asia, its role in oil and gas company decisions, and the effects of changing American attitudes toward the Taliban. He also describes the new face of Islamic fundamentalism and explains why Afghanistan has become the world center for international terrorism.
