The Taliban Shuffle: Strange Days in Afghanistan and Pakistan

Kim Barker  |  Barcode: 9780307477385

In this darkly comic and unsparing memoir that"tells us more about the Afghan debacle than any foreign policy briefing” (The Seattle Times),the famed investigative journalist uses her wry, incisive voice to expose the absurdities and tragedies of the “forgotten war,” finding humor and humanity amid the rubble and heartbreak.

When Kim Barker first arrived in Kabul as a journalist in 2002, she barely owned a passport, spoke only English and had little idea how to do the “Taliban Shuffle” between Afghanistan and Pakistan. No matter—her stories about Islamic militants and shaky reconstruction were soon overshadowed by the bigger news in Iraq. But as she delved deeper into Pakistan and Afghanistan, her love for the countries grew, along with her fear for their future stability.
