Ahmed Rashid's "Taliban," reviewed
I cannot review the audio cassette, but I have read the book version, which I recommended highly to my father. Because of macular degeneration, however, it is hard for him to read, so I was happy to find this audio cassette version of the book. I am someone who knows virtually nothing about Central Asia and Afghanistan, and just a slight bit more about the Middle East. I found Rashid to be a ...

Valuable and Important Book
Jihad by Ahmed Rashid provides an explanation for the rise of militant Islam in Central Asia. I purchased this book because I enjoyed another of Rashid's works, Taliban, and because it was on sale. Within the first few pages, the significance of Rashid's book is obvious. For one, the author is an objective journalist (that term should be redundant but, sadly, it isn't) with first-hand experience ...

Taliban
Mr. Rashid is extremely knowledgeable, and that is reflected in his book which traces the roots, support and the Islamic philosophy of the Taliban movement in Afghanistan. In fact, there is an overwhelming amount of information in this book. My problem stems from the confusing amount of leaders and movements that make up this book. It's slow reading. It is, however, a must for the student ...

Applied Sufism

Ahmed, Abdur Rashid

WingSpan Press, 2006

offers in-depth understanding
I highly recommend this book which offers an in-depth understanding of Sufism. The book also gives further insight into the spiritual aspects of traditional Islam -- and today's world can certainly benefit from this greater understanding. In addition to broadening one's knowledge about Sufism, the book details suggestions that any seeker can use immediately in one's daily life.

an essential history
Mr. Rashid provides a review of the recent history of a region that has known centuries of conflict. He explains why the billions spent by the Bush administration were unable to bring any measure of peace and prosperity to the peoples of Afghanistan and Pakistan and why the policies pursued by Bush/Cheney/Rumsfeld have produced a stronger, bolder, and more capable Taliban while doing little to ...

Kazakhstan, Kirgystan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan have all become independent states in central Asia, following the break-up of the USSR. All have Muslim majorities and ancient histories, but are otherwise very different. This book provides an introduction to the region. Rashid gives a history of each country, including its incorporation into Tsarist Russia to the present day. He provides basic socio-economic information and ...

Silk Road to Ruin: Is Central Asia the New Middle East?

Ted Rall

Nantier Beall Minoustchine Publishing, 2006

Reveals American Contempt for Central Asians
Ted Rall's book is worth reading, for a damning self-portrait of an "ugly American" version 2006--huckster, radio host, cartoonist, coldly cynical, thrill-seeking, slumming Ivy Leaguer, brimming with smug condescension and contempt for those he encounters on various tours through Central Asia over the past decade. Rall waltzes through some of the most violent and tragic regions on earth ...
