After the Soviet Union invaded in 1980, Afghanistan descended into an unending conflict that featured at various points most of the world's major powers. In the mid - 1990s the country entered a new phase when the Taliban took power and imposed order based on a harsh repressive version of Islamic law. Infamously the sheltered Osama bin Laden whose attack on 9\/11 Towers ushered in the Global War on Terror drew tens of thousands of American troops to the country where they remain today. In Afghanistan: What Everyone Needs to Know leading scholar Barnett R. Rubin provides an overview of this complicated nation. After providing a concise history of Afghanistan he explores the various peoples and cultures of the country and its relations with neighbors like Pakistan and Iran. He also provides an authoritative overview of the conflicts that have plagued the country since the Soviet invasion. Both wide - ranging and pithy this book explains why Afghanistan matters and what its possible future might look like.\u003cbr\u003e\nTitle: Afghanistan What Everyone Needs To Know\u003cbr\u003e\nAuthor(s): Rubin Barnett R.
