Afghanistan's Endless War: State Failure, Regional Politics and the Rise of the Taliban
I read this when it first came out--- the autumn of 2001, with the war against the Taliban and the US invasion of Afghanistan still in its early days. I'd seen Larry Goodson on a panel on C-Span 2 and been impressed by his knowledge.
"Afghanistan's Endless War" is a well-done account of Afghan history and politics between the end of the old monarchy and the seizure of power by the Taliban. It's especially good on the whole 1992-98 period, the era of warlords and anarchy, the era that made the Taliban seem like a force for stability to many Afghans and allowed Pakistan to see the Taliban as its tool for dominating the country.
Well-written, useful, very much recommended.
