Tension builds in Afghanistan

Here is a rather good looking book about Afghanistan after the Taliban. The author is speaking at the Georgetown SSP (my grad program) in the next few weeks. If you are in DC you should take a look. The book takes a macro policy oriented approach as opposed to the micro approach taken in the brilliant Places in Between. For a great book on the Taliban I recommend Taliban by Ahmed Rashid. It's out of date, but it still worth reading.
