Holy Blood by Paul Overby

Inside View of the Afghan War

The author gives a firsthand account of the Afghan War set against an extensive background of political history. To establish his report in a broader historical context, Overby has drawn on Afghan scholars such as Louis Dupree, Olivier Roy, Bahanudin Majrooh, Eqbal Ahmad, Jan-Heeren Grevemeyer and Barnett Rubin. Overby sees the war growing from the angry tension over modernisation in Afghanistan, and sets it in its context as an expression of Islamism, the most modern and dynamic version of Islamic fundamentalism.
