History of Nations - Afghanistan
Hardcover
(Greenhaven Press Oct. 10, 2005)
, 1 edition
Although previous governments have attempted to build a strong state to initiate economic development and modernization of Afghanistan, such plans have not been fully realized. This text highlights the rivalry between British India and Tsarist Russia over Afghanistan; new rivalry between the United States and the Soviet Union; Afghan social and cultural issues; lack of women contribution in the national development; and the draconian Taliban rule as major reasons for the failure of an Afghan state.
