Synopsis
The current situation in Afghanistan is all too familiar, but its past remains unfamiliar to many. William Maley offers a valuable insight into Afghanistan's wars and the domestic, regional, and international politics that have exposed the population of what was once one of the most stable states in Asia to enormous damage. Maley examines the Soviet-Afghan War, the Afghan Civil War and the current conflict in the context of Afghanistan's cultural, social, political and geographical complexities. These are complexities with which policy makers, journalists, students and scholars must now come to terms.

Review
'Maley's book is arguably the key text both for students and researchers on Afghanistan's recent history. Underpinned by extensive scholarship and judicious argumentation, The Afghanistan Wars is also of great relevance to any appraisal of a vital element of US and Western efforts in the "war on terror".' - Gregory Kent, Roehampton University, UK
'The publication of a second edition of William Maley's 'The Afghanistan Wars' is a most welcome development. The first edition, which dealt with the period up to the fall of the Taliban, was a model of lucid historical exposition combined with sophisticated analysis, valuable for both the specialist and the general reader. The new edition continues to exhibit these qualities with an additional chapter bringing the narrative up to date.' - John Chiddick, La Trobe University, Australia
'The best work available on Afghanistan's recent history - Maley's scholarship and mastery of the sources are evident on every page.' - Stephen J. Blank, Strategic Studies Institute of the U.S. Army War College, USA
