Editorial Reviews
Review
School Library Journal : "Because of the even-handed presentation, the title makes a strong and lasting impression. The writings are well chosen. A thoughtful and well-delineated addition."
-- School Library Journal (April 2003)
School Library Journal : "This book will give students an understanding of a difficult time in American history."
-- School Library Journal (September 2002)
School Library Journal : "This collection of primary-source material presents a well-balanced treatise on who knew what, and when, and who was responsible. This title deals with a debate that is seldom addressed."
-- School Library Journal (July 2002)
Booklist : "As with books in the long-running Opposing Viewpoints series, the excerpts here clearly express opposing opinions on an issue...The effect of the entire volume is to create an informative, many-sided representation."
-- Booklist (May 2002)

Afghanistan has a long history of power shifts and civil unrest. The Taliban, a fundamentalist Islamic group, was simply another in a series of individuals and organizations who attempted to rule this war-torn country. This anthology details the conditions that gave rise to the Taliban. It also covers the conditions of the Afghani people under Taliban rule and the U.S.-lead war meant to oust them from power following the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.
