THE SECOND BOOK

NEW BOOK ON AFGHANISTAN

Gross, Nasrine Abou-Bakre, Compiler/Editor, Qadam-ha-ye Awshti wa Massouliat-e Ma Afghan-ha (Steps of Peace and Our Responsibility as Afghans). First Edition, Falls Church, VA: Kabultec, 2000.

In this Dari book, twenty-five Afghan experts describe the uniquely Afghan processes of war and peace among the various social groups of Afghanistan. Groups such as the Pashtuns, Tajiks, Hazaras, Uzbeks, Sunnis, Shias, women have described their processes in their own words. The manner of war and peace is also reviewed in the family, society, government and international scene as well as in the two official languages of Pashto and Dari. In addition, seven political groups have described their peace platforms. The book was prepared based on a common questionnaire but the authors did not know each other's identity.

The book draws the normal curve of war and peace and demonstrates how it is different in Afghanistan: What happens at every point in the curve, what the critical success factors are, who performs them - - all Afghan style.

THE BOOK THOUGHTFULLY AND CLEARLY REVEALS HOW, ON A PERSONAL, SOCIAL AND NATIONAL LEVEL, WE AS INDIVIDUAL AFGHANS CAN HELP TO REDUCE THE PRESENT DANGER AND BRING ABOUT THE ELUSIVE YET NECESSARY RECONCILIATION TO OUR VALUED PEOPLE AND OUR CHERISHED HOMELAND.
