'An epic achievement: at once a model of clarity, accuracy and balance and a testament to Jonathan Lee's learning and life-long erudition in Afghan primary sources. Authoritative and remarkably comprehensive, it deserves to become the standard English-language history of Afghanistan.' - William Dalrymple, Historian and author of Return of a King and Koh-i-Noor'This work is the last word on the history of Afghanistan and I have no hesitation in recommending it.' - Dr Chris Wyatt, University of Birmingham, author of Afghanistan in the Defence of Empire; `Lee's book combines nuanced attention to the dynamic variety of regional, religious and tribal identities, loyalties, alliances and resources within Afghanistan, while also constructively engaging with the diverse and changing constellation of external actors, agencies and pressures in this new history of Afghanistan.' - Shah Mahmoud Hanifi, Professor of Middle Eastern and South Asian History at James Madison University
