Taliban: Library Edition

Rating:
Summary: Ahmed Rashid's "Taliban," reviewed
Review: I cannot review the audio cassette, but I have read the book version, which I recommended highly to my father. Because of macular degeneration, however, it is hard for him to read, so I was happy to find this audio cassette version of the book.
I am someone who knows virtually nothing about Central Asia and Afghanistan, and just a slight bit more about the Middle East. I found Rashid to be a superb journalist and writer, with a real ability to communicate the immense difficulties that face the Afghanis at this point. Although the subject matter was chronically sad, the book was excellent.
