[T]he work provides a very good overview of nearly three centuries of conflict in Afghanistan. . . . Summing Up: Recommended. All libraries. All levels.
College students and those who want a big-picture view of Afghanistan's military history over the last few centuries will find this a useful place to begin.
All ABC-CLIO reference volumes are first rate, and this one is no different. . . . Since past history would indicate that wars in Afghanistan are not likely to cease in the future, this volume is a very good summation of where we stand at this point in time.
