'Andrew North has a deep empathy and understanding for Afghanistan and has seen sides of it - both good and horrifying - that very few international observers have encountered' - Rory Stewart

'By weaving personal stories into a modern history of Afghanistan, Andrew North provides a touching and intimate portrait of the country he grew to love. His beautiful illustrations add a unique perspective on how war has destroyed or transformed generations of Afghans' - Lindsey Hilsum


In early 2022 ,veteran journalist Andrew North was kidnapped by the Taliban. By the time he found himself imprisoned in a jail cell, he had been reporting from Afghanistan for two decades, coming to know hundreds of Afghans along the way. This book brings together both his and their stories.

Farzana was banned from attending school as a child, but education would take her further than she could have imagined.

Bilal's dream of becoming a journalist came true, but at a cost.

While Abdul's ambition to become a doctor was thwarted, Jahan's prospects transformed radically for the better.

And in a quiet province, the life of a boy called Naqibullah was shattered.

Witness to both the country's transformation and the mistakes that eventually led to its collapse, in War & Peace & War North vividly evokes a country where foreign powers and internal forces have been on a collision course for over two centuries.

    5.0 out of 5 stars The defeat and return of the Taliban in Afghanistan
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 15, 2024
    Verified Purchase
    A comprehensive and fast-paced account of 20 years of upheaval in Afghanistan that is accessible both to those fascinated by this country and those with only a passing knowledge. The stories of the author’s friends and colleagues make the book personal and sympathetic with their interweaving lives and experiences offering different perspectives on how the Taliban, defeated by the US-led coalition post 9/11, came to rule the country yet again.

    Very thorough account of how Afghanistan is where it is today.
    Well written, and easy to read,
    I highly recommend the book to anyone interested in history. And our (US) involvement in it.
