{"product_id":"afghanistan-stephen-tanner-9780306818264","title":"Afghanistan: A Military History from Alexander the Great to the War Against the Taliban","description":"For over 2,500 years, the forbidding territory of Afghanistan has served as a vital crossroads for armies and has witnessed history-shaping clashes between civilizations: Greek, Arab, Mongol, and Tartar, and, in more recent times, British, Russian, and American. When U.S. troops entered Afghanistan in the weeks following September 11, 2001, they overthrew the Afghan Taliban regime and sent the terrorists it harbored on the run. But America's initial easy victory is in sharp contrast to the difficulties it faces today in confronting the Taliban resurgence.\u003cp\u003eOriginally published in 2002, Stephen Tanner's \u003ci\u003eAfghanistan\u003c\/i\u003e has now been completely updated to include the crucial turn of events since America first entered the country.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Stephen Tanner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0306818264\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780306818264\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Da Capo Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/28\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 392\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.01lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.07h x 6.06w x 1.04d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2010 pg. 52","brand":"Stephen Tanner","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44045986300159,"sku":"9780306818264","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3f514a4c-fda5-4fda-8496-d0959ed072b4.jpg?v=1684981951","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/afghanistan-stephen-tanner-9780306818264","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
