This text aims to give an insider's look at the Taliban's rise to power and the escalation of the violence that followed. This edition includes new chapters on the eventual demise of the movement and the rapid changes in Afghanistan's political landscape. Drawing on interviews with key members of the Taliban, investigative journalist Michael Griffin examines its origins and beliefs, its religious and political ethos and the character of its particular brand of Islamic fundamentalism. In the process, he looks at the contemporary political situation in Afghanistan and what the future holds.
