Synopsis
Afghanistan in a Nutshell is one in a series of booklets offering simple and comprehensive outlines of worldwide events and people. In the same spirit as Cliffs Notes, the 32-page booklet opens with a list of People and Policies, the situation "in a nutshell" and pertinent background information. Afghanistan in a Nutshell includes chapters on the Taliban, Islam, Osama bin Laden and Afghanistan's foreign relations (with Pakistan, Iran and the United States) and answers some of the basic questions about terrorism, opium, Afghan women, oil, art and al-Qaeda.
