Ten years ago, Christina Lamb reported on the war the Afghan people were fighting against the Soviet Union. Now, back in Afghanistan, she has written an extraordinary memoir of her love affair with the country and its people. Long haunted by her experiences in Afghanistan, Lamb returned there after last year's attack on the World Trade Centre to find out what had become of the people and places that had marked her life as a young graduate.

Write a product review. Most helpful customer reviews on Amazon. Verified Purchase. An excellent book by someone very familiar with Afghanistan and the Afghan people. Having lived and travelled in the country in the 's, this account of contemporary Afghanistan, in the light of the horrific past thirty years, affected me deeply.
All I can repeat is why, why, why? A really good book. Christina Lamb is a journalist who spent several years in Afghanistan in the s and then returned after the US-led invasion in She is clearly an adventurous type, and ended up hiding in ditches with mujaheddin under fire, among other things.
