Query: REVEALING

Not being as grammatically proficient as some of the other reviewists, I can only add my observation.While being a difficult book to read, not easy flowing as in a novel, the subject of this book is so well researched and packed with facts, that slower reading is required to assimilate all the info.To me Afghanistan has always been a vague cauldron of politics.Michael Griffin's book has opened this 'mystery' of politics by explaining in detail the interaction of all neighboring countries, especially Pakistan who plays a leading role in the politics of the area and the Taliban.Very informative reading. If you are interested in politics read it, if not read Harry Potter.Highly recomended, most intelligent book I've read in a decade.
