AFGHANISTAN- the name conjures images of rugged mountains, ancient cities, hardened Mujaheddin, a country rife with regional rivalries, and the eternal struggle between Tajik and Pashtun. Afghanistan comes to life in this epic adventure of love, betrayal, and war. Young Tajik Ahmed Jan¹s heroic journey begins in the Northern Alliance stronghold near Taloqan just a month prior to 9/11. He is swept away by the chaos that soon engulfs the country before a chance discovery propels him to the forefront of the clash between civilizations. Pursued by both the CIA and al-Qaeda, he struggles to save his people from obliteration and find the true meaning of life in a land where all seems lost.
LOVED IT!
| Customer Rating: | | If you like The Kite Runner and 1000 Splendid Suns, you'll love this book. It's so good I couldn't put it down. |
Beautiful story of love, friendship, betrayal and loyalty
| Customer Rating: | | The book starts off slow but once it gets going, you cannot put it down. This book takes you to the hidden caves of Afghanistan, CIA headquarters in Washington DC, red light district of Amsterdam, canals of Venice and back to the mountains of South Asia.. a truly amazing story of love, honor, pride, friendship and betrayal. |
Couldn't put this one down!
| Customer Rating: | One of the Best . . . from someone who travelled Afghanistan in the 70s.
This book of fiction is filled with suspense, current events of war/terrorism, courage and romance all rolled into a superbly crafted story that was next to impossible to put down. The descriptions of Afghanistan were much as I remembered where, on highways, men would just get out of a vehicle and start walking towards the far mountains into what-appeared-to-be nowhere. The Taliban throughout the Khyber Pass were just as treacherous then as now, though most Afghanis were wonderfully hospitable to Americans. The game of Buzkashi was referred to and is something so unique to Afghanistan as I remember in Kabul. Can't wait to read Dr. Wilson's most recent: Ascent from Darkness. |
Very believable Afghanistan thriller
| Customer Rating: | | This is both a believable international thriller and a scary novel about the ethnic and religious hatreds that plague Afghanistan and the world. I do not know how an eye doctor from California and Minnesota has done it, but the characters and locales it describes seem very authentic. It is a very good read. I leave it to other readers to decide whether the ending is hopeful or pessimistic about easing those ethnic hatreds. |
Great Read!!
| Customer Rating: | | I REALLY enjoyed this novel and would rate it up there with some of my favorite all-time entertaining books like The Day of the Jackal and The Firm. I'm a former business major, but I found the scientific part about the new type of virus weapon understandable and chilling. I hated to see the book end, but the finale was powerful...just like the rest of the story. I highly recommend Winter in Kandahar! |
