500			_a“This book is a story about contemporary Afghanistan told from the perspective of two entities—a boy and an airline, both growing up in 1950’s Afghanistan and seeing half a century of change from political polarization caused by internal forces and world superpowers. The stages of growth, repression, and challenges to succeed for the boy and the airline run parallel to each other and can be described in three distinct stages “progress” between 1950-1978, “oppression” between 1978 and 2001, and “turbulence” between 2001 and 2009. The path of the boy and the airline crisscross through these changing times, resulting in intrigue, drama and at times, danger”—introduction.
