Synopsis

The first edition of "Afghanistan in a Nutshell" was introduced in October 2001 -- only a month after the terrorist attack on U.S. cities. It was listed on the LA Times bestseller list soon after -- kicking off the growing Nutshell Notes book series (which also includes titles on Pakistan, Islam, Iraq and Israel-Palestine). A year later, a second edition was printed that included information on Hamid Karzai, the appointed head of Afghanistan’s interim government, and other updated information.

In 2004, the 3rd edition of "Afghanistan in a Nutshell" was published with short, easy-to-read chapters on the Taliban, Islam, Osama bin Laden and Afghanistan’s foreign relations (with Pakistan, Iran and the United States). The book also answers some of the basic questions about terrorism, opium, Afghan women, refugees, mines, oil, art and al Qaeda and navigates through Afghanistan’s recovery after the 2001 war with the United States.
