2024, Taliban: The Story of the Afghan Warlords
TALIBAN: THE STORY OF THE AFGHAN Warlords is a comprehensive examination of the rise of the Taliban movement in Afghanistan and the impact it has had on the country and the region. The book, written by Ahmed Rashid, offers a thorough explanation of the historical, political, and cultural causes that contributed to the development of the Taliban and the events that occurred after its ascent to power. The book acquired recognition after the 9/11 attacks. The significance of this book may be appreciated from a Guardian article that claims Tony Blair’s plans for Afghanistan after the Taliban were greatly inspired by it. Alastair Campbell, Downing Street Director of Communications and Strategy, and Anji Hunter, Personal Assistant to the Prime Minister, were also counselled to read before planning an expedition in Afghanistan.

Taliban A Critical History from Within By Abdul Hai Mutma'in (Former Taliban Spokesperson)2019 •
Taliban: A Critical History from Within by Abdul Hai Mutma'in offers an inside account of the Afghan movement and their government. In his preface, the author notes that his book will please neither supporters of the Taliban nor those who fight and condemn them. It is this trenchant quality that makes it unique among the memoirs of those who used to work for and with the Taliban. Mutma'in's account often feels like a corrective, critical of those outside the Taliban but also of the movement itself. Whereas most books of this kind stop with the invasion of the United States in October 2001, Mutma'in shares the story of how the Taliban fled, how resistance was organised and how they grew into a potent insurgency force. Mutma'in's book is essential reading for anyone seeking to understand the Taliban and recent Afghan history.

Ladies and Gentlemen; First of all, I would like to thank the organisers for inviting me to address of this conference. This conference is being held at a crucial time in order to explore the causes of the colossal collapse of the Republic in Afghanistan, its repercussions and the challenges ahead, not only for the Afghan people but for the international community, both of whom slowly recovering from a shock the events of the last one and a half month have brought upon us. At this juncture:

Afghanistan is in danger of capsizing in a perfect storm of insur-gency that mimics operations and tactics witnessed in Iraq. This article assesses this insurgency and the re-emergent Taliban. The common view of the Taliban as simply a radical Afghan Islamist movement is overly simple, for that organization has been able to build on tribal kinship networks and a charis-matic mullah phenomenon to mobilize a critical and dynamic rural base of support. This support, buttressed by Talib reinforcements from Pakistan's border areas, is enough to frustrate the U.S.-led Coalition's counterinsurgency strategy. At the operational level, the Taliban is fighting a classic ''war of the flea,'' while the Coalition continues to fight the war largely according to the Taliban ''game plan.'' This is resulting in its losing the war in Afghanistan one Pashtun village at a time.
