500 _aSummary: “In late 1994, a new force unexpectedly emerged in the politics of war-ravaged Afghanistan—the Taliban. This was ostensibly a movement of religious student, inspired by a vision which its leader Mullah Mohammad Omar was said to have received in a dream. First it seized the southern city of Kandahar, then 1995 it took over the ancient city of Heart, and finally, in September 1996, the capital Kabul fell to its forces. There its demand for the seclusion of women under a strict Islamic regime immediately captured world attention”—back cover.
