Description

The Return of the Taliban: Afghanistan After the Americans Left By Hassan Abbas A comprehensive account of the resurgent Taliban and their strategy in power. Since the fall of Kabul in 2021, the Taliban have effectively controlled Afghanistan, but reestablishing control is a complex procedure. This book examines the group's inner dynamics, including the widening rifts between moderates and hardliners, as well as their engagement with external actors such as China and central Asian states. The Taliban face numerous challenges, from humanitarian crises to threats from the Islamic State in Khorasan. Yet, they are also navigating the world stage with increasing sophistication. Drawing on sources and contacts in the region, Return of the Taliban offers a nuanced understanding of the movement's development and consolidation of power in Afghanistan. With detailed profiles of key leaders, this book provides a timely and insightful analysis of the Taliban's resurgence and its implications for regional stability.
