'Weaves in his own reporting with sharp insights'The Economist

'For anyone seeking an account that allows them to re-examine the most bewildering of the "Wars on Terror," North's book is an excellent choice. In his careful hands, we see Afghanistan- that chronically misunderstood warscape - as a place of uncommon humanity. We are all better for it'Jon Lee Anderson, author of The Fall of Baghdad

'By weaving personal stories into a modern history of Afghanistan, Andrew North provides a touching and intimate portrait of the country he grew to love. His beautiful illustrations add a unique perspective on how war has destroyed or transformed generations of Afghans'Lindsey Hilsum
