About This Item
Bloomsbury USA, 2005. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. 8vo - over 7? - 9?" tall. Bloomsbury Publishing, 2005. First Edition. Hardcover Book and Jacket in Very Good Condition. Said Hyder Akbar was living an ordinary life in California when the shocking events of Sept 11, 2001, turned his life upside down. After the fall of the Taliban, his father sold his business and returned to Afghanistan and served as President Karzai's chief spokesman. 17 year-old Hyder had never been to Afghanistan and convinced his father to let him go there during three successive summer vacations. He witnessed a scarred country, a time of turmoil, blood feuds, poverty, and divided loyalties. He kept a recorder with him in his travels and created radio documentaries on his experiences. The immediacy of these recordings is captured in this book, in which he weaves his own journey to find his identity in his parents' homeland, with a dramatic behind-the-scene account of political and civilian in post-Taliban Afghanistan. Gold half cloth with silver titles within a decorative border, black boards. Tight and solid, square with sharp corners. Spine head bumped. Internals as new. 337 pages. 9.6 x 6.5 inches. Bloomsbury Publishing, New York 2005.
