" My Life with the Taliban offers a window into one from enemy ranks." -- Kristin Ohlson, The Sunday Plain Dealer, "Full of insights on who the Taliban are and how they came about, and should be required reading for anyone with an interest in the region." -- Christina Lamb, The Sunday Times (London), "Offer[s] important clues that could help to answer some of the most pressing foreign policy questions now confronting the Obama administration." -- David Rhode, The New Republic, "As the only insider account in existence, it provides some valuable insights into the inner workings of a movement that defies easy categorisation." -- The Irish Times, A book that for the first time places readers at the heart of the Taliban's way of thinking... beautifully translated and extensively edited for easier understanding., A book that for the first time places readers at the heart of the Taliban's way of thinking... beautifully translated and extensively edited for easier understanding.The New York Review of Books, Full of insights on who the Taliban are and how they came about, and should be required reading for anyone with an interest in the region., " My Life with the Talibanoffers a window into one from enemy ranks." -- Kristin Ohlson, The Sunday Plain Dealer, "[ My Life with the Taliban] offers a rare glimpse into the mind of a senior Taliban leader who remains sympathetic to the movement." -- Seth G. Jones, Foreign Affairs, "A book that for the first time places readers at the heart of the Taliban's way of thinking... beautifully translated and extensively edited for easier understanding." -- Ahmed Rashid, New York Review of Books, "Invaluable.... This is a book that should be read by anybody with an interest in why Afghanistan has gone so badly wrong." -- Nick Meo, [ My Life with the Taliban ] offers a rare glimpse into the mind of a senior Taliban leader who remains sympathetic to the movement., A must-reading for those American policymakers who want to understand one of the most controversial religious movements in modern times., an amazing look into what drives the Taliban and like-minded groups. Though Zaeef is a politician and this was a political book, it should be required reading for all foreign commanders and students of political violence., "A book that for the first time places readers at the heart of the Taliban's way of thinking... beautifully translated and extensively edited for easier understanding." -- Ahmed Rashid, The New York Review of Books, The only detailed insider account of the Taliban.... Zaeef is no spokesman for Mullah Omar and the Quetta Shura. But My Life with the Taliban usefully shows that its leaders saw themselves as nationalists, reformers, and liberators rather than Islamist ideologues., Spies, generals, and ambassadors will pounce on this book, poring over its pages for clues to a way out of the Afghan morass., Offer[s] important clues that could help to answer some of the most pressing foreign policy questions now confronting the Obama administration., "[ My Life with the Taliban ] offers a rare glimpse into the mind of a senior Taliban leader who remains sympathetic to the movement." -- Seth G. Jones, Foreign Affairs, [ My Life With the Taliban ] reminded me how valuable it is to read about a movement like the Taliban from its own perspective. The real 'intelligence' in the book lies not in its details but in the texture, perspective, assumptions, and narratives that it provides from inside the Taliban leadership -- a very rare perspective.|9780231701488|, "A must-reading for those American policymakers who want to understand one of the most controversial religious movements in modern times." -- Ehsan Azari, The Huffington Post, Invaluable.... This is a book that should be read by anybody with an interest in why Afghanistan has gone so badly wrong., As the only insider account in existence, it provides some valuable insights into the inner workings of a movement that defies easy categorisation., Zaeef's book [is] by far the most valuable work in translation to have emerged from the Taliban and should be on the shelf of every policymaker, analyst, or commentator dealing with Afghanistan. It is literally invaluable.... Where this book is most valuable is in its evocation of the world of the Taliban: their deep rootedness in the society of rural southern Afghanistan, as worked on by the experience of war, displacement, and the Pakistani refugee camps of the 1980s.

Synopsis
My Life with the Taliban is the autobiography of Abdul Salam Zaeef, a former senior member of Afghanistan's Taliban and a principal actor in its domestic and foreign affairs. Translated for the first time from the Pashto, Zaeef's words share more than a personal history of an unusual life. They supply a counternarrative to standard accounts of Afghanistan since 1979. Zaeef shares his experiences as a poor youth in rural Kandahar. Both his parents died when he was young, and Russia's invasion in 1979 forced Zaeef to flee to Pakistan. In 1983, Zaeef joined the jihad against the Soviets, fighting alongside several major figures of the anti-Soviet resistance, including current Taliban leader Mullah Mohammad Omar. After the war, he returned to his quiet life in Helmand, but factional conflicts soon broke out, and Zaeef, disgusted by the ensuing lawlessness, joined with other former mujahidin to form the Taliban, which assumed power in 1994. Zaeef recounts his time with the organization, first as a civil servant and then as a minister who negotiated with foreign oil companies and Ahmed Shah Massoud, the leader of the Afghani resistance. Zaeef served as ambassador to Pakistan at the time of 9/11, and his testimony sheds light on the "phoney war" that preceeded the U.S.-led intervention. In 2002, Zaeef was delivered to the American forces operating in Pakistan and spent four and a half years in prison, including several years in Guantanamo, before being released without trial or charge. His reflections offer a privileged look at the communities that form the bedrock of the Taliban and the forces that motivate men like Zaeef to fight. They also provide an illuminating perspective on life in Guantanamo.
