Compared to Iraq, Afghanistan became the “good war.” But a stalemate ensued, and the Taliban waited out the NATO contingents. Today, with the collapse of the puppet regime in Kabul, what does the future hold for a traumatised Afghan people? Will China become the dominant influence in the country?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTariq Ali has been following the wars in Afghanistan for forty years. He opposed Soviet military intervention in 1979, predicting disaster. He was also a fierce critic of its NATO sequel, Operation Enduring Freedom. In a series of trenchant commentaries, he has described the tragedies inflicted on Afghanistan, as well as the semi-Talibanisation and militarisation of neighbouring Pakistan. Most of his predictions have proved accurate. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Forty-Year War in Afghanistan: A Chronicle Foretold\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e brings together the best of his writings and includes a new introduction.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/h5\u003e","brand":"Tariq Ali","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50503244447926,"sku":null,"price":670.0,"currency_code":"PKR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/1794\/2710\/files\/58793883.jpg?v=1790245047","url":"https:\/\/booksvilla.com.pk\/products\/the-forty-year-war-in-afghanistan-a-chronicle-foretold","provider":"Booksvilla.pk","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
