Unholy Wars: Afghanistan, America and International Terrorism
John Cooley
HISTORY •  2002 •  PAPER  • 268 PAGES

A correspondent who has written widely on the region, Cooley follows the unsettling fate of Afghanistan through the 1980s. "Unholy Wars" is persuasive, controversial account of the U.S. funding and training of Islamic militants during the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan -- and the vacuum left behind when the CIA abandoned the region in 1989. In this new edition, he concludes with chapters on the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center, and a new chapter on destabilization in the Philippines.  (CAS76, $28.95)
