Doomed in Afghanistan: A U.N. Officer's Memoir of the Fall of Kabul and Najibullah's Failed Escape, 1992

by Phillip Corwin

To understand more deeply the tragic events of September 11, 2001, it is critical to know Afghanistan's recent and turbulent past. Doomed in Afghanistan provides a first-hand account of how failed diplomacy led to an Islamic fundamentalist victory in a war-torn country, and subsequently, to a Taliban takeover and a home for Osama bin Laden's Al Qaeda terrorist network.
