Memories of Afghanistan
by M.H. Anwar.
The captivating story of one who fought for a modern, secular
Afghanistan.
Mohammad Haider Anwar traces his development from
street urchin and petty thief in the slums of Kabul, to
idealistic teenager swayed by the writings of Tom Paine, to
government official espousing reform in a deeply patriarchal,
religious society. In 1943, facing imprisonment by the Afghan
monarchy - in part for refusing to force his American-born wife
to wear the chaderi, or head-to-toe veil - Dr. Anwar fled
into exile.
This second edition of Memories of Afghanistan
includes a new Afterward that discusses the American government's
role in strengthening Islamic fundamentalism and tribal
backwardness in Afghanistan over the past 25 years.
