Few people recall today that Germany and Afghanistan were once close friends, allied in their mutual distrust of the then still-powerful British Empire. Within the space of a few years the British had beaten the Germans on the battlefields of the First World War. A few years later these same English victors used their military machine, complete with state-of-the-art airplanes based in India, to bomb their Afghan neighbors into political submission. It was during the early 1920s, while both Germany and Afghanistan were thus licking their wounds and regaining their political power, that the German geologist Emile Trinkler made his legendary trip across the forbidden kingdom of Afghanistan. The Afghan king had shut his borders to the majority of outsiders, which further heightened the kingdom s already famous isolation. Yet having arrived at the Afghan border via Russian Turkestan, Trinkler wasn t about to go back. He mounted a local horse and rode off across the vast interior of that still-beautiful country. Through the Heart of Afghanistan describes his journey. Its pages are sprinkled with the author s reminiscences of a Central Asian world now passed into memory. Solitary peaks. Peaceful valleys. Sunny plains and blazing deserts are all to be found on these loving pages. Trinkler saw Afghanistan as she still was, asleep and dreaming in the last stages of her long medieval slumber. Amply illustrated with a series of period photographs, Through the Heart of Afghanistan takes the reader back in time, on the back of a horse, and in the company of a gentle man, to a country now recalled only in legends.

"Life was beautiful in Mazar-E-Sharif, Afghanistan, being a kid and enjoying my childhood. . ." . . . Until an AK-47 claimed eleven-year-old Mohammad Ali's leg-and in 1997, the Taliban claimed his beloved hometown. Targeted by Mujahudeen warlords and the Taliban, Mohammad's Shiite Muslim family from the Hazara tribe were harassed and tortured, raped, and even killed. He spiraled into suicidal depression while struggling to adjust to life as an amputee and supporting them all. As the violence and chaos escalated, so did Mohammad's anger and questions. Why, God, does the evil Taliban do bad things and you do not care? But when Mohammad was finally smuggled into Turkey, he found a Christian church. Then Jesus found him. And nothing was ever the same. A Journey of Transformation: From the Heart of Afghanistan is a harrowing story of surviving extreme violence and loss and an inspiring exploration of what it means to find life's true meaning.

In the 1970s John Baily conducted extensive ethnomusicological research in Afghanistan, principally in the city of Herat but also in Kabul. Then, with Taraki’s coup in 1978, came conflict, war, and the dispersal of many musicians to locations far and wide. This new publication is the culmination of Baily’s further research on Afghan music over the 35 years that followed. This took him to Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iran, the USA, Australia and parts of Europe - London, Hamburg and Dublin. Arranged chronologically, the narrative traces the sequence of political events - from 1978, through the Soviet invasion, to the coming of the Taliban and, finally, the aftermath of the US-led invasion in 2001. He examines the effects of the ever-changing situation on the lives and works of Afghan musicians, following individual musicians in fascinating detail. At the heart of his analysis are privileged vignettes of ten musical personalities - some of friends, and some newly discovered. The result is a remarkable personal memoir by an eminent ethnomusicologist known for his deep commitment to Afghanistan, Afghan musicians and Afghan musical culture. John Baily is also an ethnographic filmmaker. Four of his films relating to his research are included on the downloadable resources that accompanies the text.

Blood and fire have often blighted Afghanistan, the three Anglo-Afghan wars being among the bloodiest and the cruelest in its history. But Britain's partitioning of Afghanistan will rank as the greatest crime of the nineteenth century. That arbitrary line which Mortimer Durand drew in 1893 on a small piece of paper continues to bleed Afghanistan and hound the world. Alas, this story remained untold until now. Written in an inimitable style, Durand's Curse is the result of deep research. Fascinating details from long-buried archives of history reveal for the first time a tale of intrigue and deceit against Afghanistan. First the British and then Pakistan had taken away territory that originally belonged to Afghanistan. But the divided Pathan families refuse to accept this division even now and for the last century and over, there has been a struggle to rub out the cursed line drawn across the sand. Rajiv Dogra brings alive the wars, the tragedies and the Afghan anger against injustice in this heart-wrenching account of Afghanistan's misfortunes. This is an absolutely riveting story of the Indian sub-continent's history told by an important writer of our generation.
