On the Road to Kandahar: Travels through conflict in the Islamic world by Jason Burke
Requirements: ePUB Reader, 1.1 MB
Overview: From the bestselling author of Al-Qaeda, Jason Burke’s On the Road to Kandahar reveals the true face of Islam in an age of global conflict.
In the summer of 1991 Jason Burke set off to join Kurdish guerillas fighting in Iraq. It was the start of a remarkable journey that would take him from the sands of the Sahara to the highest peaks of the Himalayas, revealing the true complexity and variety of the ‘Islamic world’.
Describing encounters with hundreds of people ranging from destitute refugees to senior government ministers, from American snipers to hardened ‘mujahideen’, this extraordinary work of reportage is a vivid account of life and death, war and peace, bigotry and ignorance, hate and tolerance.
