Reviews of the author's previous book
His is the art of synthesis: of letting the known, verifiable facts speak for themselves...America in Afghanistan documents forensically how the incapacity or unwillingness of the powerful to imagine the conditions of the conquered can prove devastating to the imbalances of geopolitical power ... The book is most powerful precisely when the anthropological distance is set aside and Dorani allows everyday Afghans to speak...Their voice gives the book a human scale. ―Charged Affairs
The fact that Dorani spoke to Afghans from 'all walks of life' in researching the book is a strength that yields many of his most cutting insights...Dorani's Afghan perspective is truly invaluable. Americans and Westerners should pay attention. ―The Strategy Bridge, Carter Malkasian
The new book by Dr. Sharifullah Dorani...is not just another story of Afghanistan's troubled past, but rather is a remarkable account of the country's modern history with details, facts and figures that presents in its entirety the reasons that made Afghanistan, in spite of its ancient and rich civilization, renowned globally for all the wrong reasons. ― U.S. Studies Online
A valuable contribution to understanding the complex motivations, causes and consequences of US policy towards Afghanistan and the internal disagreements between the actors. ―LSE US Centre
The book is extremely valuable in terms of understanding decision making towards Afghanistan...crucial to courses relating to Foreign Policy Analysis, especially those on the Foreign Decision Making Models. ―CESRAN International
Dorani's work ... provides an interesting overview of U.S. political history throughout the course of the Afghanistan war. ―The Palestine Chronicle
Eminently readable ... a must-read for Afghans and others alike. ―Peggy Mason, Rideau Institute, Canada
