From

The ongoing violence in Iraq has forced Afghanistan off the front pages. Some staunch supporters of Bush foreign policy even point to the "great success" in Afghanistan. But, as this vital and disturbing work asserts, this is a story still being written, and the ending is far from certain. Professor Dorronsoro (of the Sorbonne) has traveled and researched extensively in Afghanistan since 1988, and his book is not balanced; he seems to have an anti-American bias, and he often recklessly accuses the U.S. of "hegemony," "imperialism," and "war crimes." Nevertheless, he knows his subject, and he provides a necessary examination of Afghanistan's recent past, present, and future possibilities. He offers a convincing explanation for both the Soviet invasion and failures, and his account of the rise of the Taliban and their connections to Pakistan is particularly interesting. Despite the elections last year, Dorronsoro views the current "national" government as a virtual creation of foreign governments and international organizations. The challenge is to somehow create a national identity that can transcend ethnic and class differences. A timely and valuable work. Jay Freeman

Review

A coherent overview for scholars of region.

(Kirkus )

For an authoritative account of modern Afghan history, we must turn instead to Gilles Dorronsoro's Revolution Unending. Deftly translated from the French by John King, it explains that conflict between the various ethnic groups in Afghanistan was never inevitable.

(Peter Bergen Washington Post Book World )

A timely and valuable work.

(Jay Freeman Booklist )

Revolution Unending is an excellent and very thorough study... This first-rate empirically-grounded book is a must read.

(Abdulkader Sinno Middle East Journal )

Dorronsoro, in his splendid and fascinating study... provides a much needed antidote to the many misconceptions about this country.

(Erik Sean Estep Digest of Middle East Studies )
