Blood Washing Blood: Afghanistan's Hundred-Year War

In the wake of the US withdrawal from Afghanistan and the Taliban's return to power, the world is once again focused on this troubled country. But what is the true history of Afghanistan? And how did it become the breeding ground for terrorism and the scene of endless war?

Blood Washing Blood: Afghanistan's Hundred-Year War provides a gripping and illuminating account of Afghanistan's century-long struggle for independence. Drawing on a wealth of primary sources and interviews with key players, John Ward Anderson offers a nuanced and balanced account of the complex factors that have shaped Afghanistan's history, from the Great Game of the 19th century to the Soviet invasion and the rise of the Taliban.
