Ahmed Rashid Libros

What does the future hold for the world's most unstable region? This title examines the changing casts of characters in this story, the future of the Taliban and international terrorism, and the political manoeuvring both within Pakistan and Afghanistan and among Western allies, offering a way forward for all countries involved.

An urgent, on-the-ground report from Pakistan—from the bestselling author of Descent Into Chaos and Taliban Ahmed Rashid, one of the world's leading experts on the social and political situations in Pakistan and Afghanistan, offers a highly anticipated update on the possibilities—and hazards—facing the United States after the death of Osama bin Laden and as Operation Enduring Freedom winds down. With the characteristic professionalism that has made him the preeminent independent journalist in Pakistan for three decades, Rashid asks the important questions and delivers informed insights about the future of U.S. relations with the troubled region. His most urgent book to date, Pakistan on the Brink is the third volume in a comprehensive series that is a call to action to our nation's leaders and an exposition of this conflict's impact on the security of the world.

'Descent Into Chaos' is an eye-opening account of the region where the next wave of Islamic terror is being born. Rashid gives a clear and devastating analysis of how the US has failed to bring peace in central Asia, and how that failure is coming back to haunt us.

Examines the Taliban and its form of Islamic fundamentalism, explains how the organization rose to power, and discusses its impact on Afghanistan and why the country has become a center for international terrorism.

Exploring a crucial and often neglected region of Islamic fundamentalism, this book offers a comprehensive analysis from the author of the "New York Times" bestseller "Taliban." It delves into the complexities and dynamics of the area, shedding light on its significance in the broader context of global Islamic movements. Through detailed research and insights, the author provides a deeper understanding of the ideological and social factors at play.

Die Anrainerstaaten Afghanistans - Usbekistan, Turkmenistan, Tadschikistan und vor allem Pakistan - sind durch die Anti-Terror-Aktion des Westens in Afghanistan enormen Spannungen ausgesetzt. Die meist autokratischen, repressiven Regierungen der Region stehen vor der Zerreißprobe mit den militanten religiösen Fundamentalisten, die sich am Vorbild Osama Bin Ladens und der Taliban ausrichten. Der Afghanistan-Experte Ahmed Rashid, international bekannt geworden durch seinen Bestseller „Taliban“, analysiert in seinem neuen Buch die Lage. Erstmals wird der komplizierte Konflikt in seinen vielfältigen Verästelungen und historischen Bezügen aufgeschlüsselt und verständlich gemacht. Mit oder ohne die Taliban - dieser Krisenherd wird in den nächsten Jahren die Tagesordnung der Weltpolitik bestimmen.
