| Publisher Description: [A] brilliant and passionate book.--The New York Review of Books After September 11th, Ahmed Rashid's crucial book Taliban introduced American readers to that now notorious regime. In this work, he returns to Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Central Asia to review the catastrophic aftermath of America's failed war on terror. Called Pakistan's best and bravest reporter by Christopher Hitchens, Rashid has shown himself to be a voice of reason amid the chaos of present-day Central Asia. Descent Into Chaos is his blistering critique of American policy--a dire warning and an impassioned call to correct these disasterous strategies before these failing states threaten global stability and bring devastation to our world. |
