" Afghanistan A Volatile Country" is a book reveals what lies beneath the surface of Afghanistan’s current political and social mindset and also the so called war on terror which unleashed the terror in Pakistani society. Starting from ancient history the book elaborates how British failed to break afghan defense line. After that there was era of peace and love in this country till 1977 which I discussed in detail. Than came Soviet invasion which was resisted by afghan civilians as afghan army was supporting the soviets. Pakistan hosted millions of afghan refugees during Soviet invasion. Soviet Union collapsed while fighting here and than civil war erupted leading to the conditions in which Taliban rose to power. Al-Qaeda established itself in the country and started activities against United States and now US troops are facing same kind of problems in Afghanistan which soviets did. I also discussed women issues in this country including how Meena was killed for raising her voice on women issues and also discussed life of parliamentarian Malalai Joya as she is banned from coming to parliament because of her vision for women. The book is available from amazon.com
