Reviews
"The flame of liberty and equality finds its echo in Ahmad Massoud's book. This compelling account offers not just insight into Afghanistan's struggle for democracy but also serves as a beacon of hope for all who cherish freedom." --Nicolas Sarkozy, former President of France "Ahmad Massoud's memoir is a compelling narrative that doesn't just speak to the struggle of Afghanistan's people but to the global fight against terrorism. This book serves as a clarion call to recognize that our liberty is bound together--what happens in Afghanistan echoes across the world." --Joe Lieberman, former United States Senator "Ahmad Massoud is a key leader in Afghanistan's resistance against the Taliban repression. His book on the emerging opposition should be required reading for all those who hope to reverse the catastrophic US deal with the Taliban in 2020 or the withdrawal of US and NATO forces in 2021." -- Ambassador John Bolton, Former US National Security Advisor. "Ahmad Massoud, son of the renowned Afghan freedom fighter Ahmad Shah Massoud, "the Lion of the Panjshir," tenaciously carries on his father's fight for a free and moderate Afghanistan. In this very personal account he argues that past mistakes can be overcome and outlines a renewed vision of Afghanistan's future. Let's hope this marks the beginning of a fresh, lively, and many-sided discussion leading to practical results and a new Afghanistan." --S. Frederick Starr, author of Lost Enlightenment: Central Asia's Golden Age from the Arab Conquest to Tamerlane.
Synopsis
In this compelling and insightful work, Ahmad Massoud reflects on the struggle for freedom and democracy in Afghanistan. As the leader of the National Resistance Front, Ahmad Massoud articulates a vision for a liberated Afghanistan, free from the grasp of the Taliban and other terrorist groups. It's no coincidence that his father, Ahmad Shah Massoud, was a military commander who led the resistance against the Soviet occupation in the 1980s and later against the Taliban regime until his assassination on September 9, 2011. In this remarkable memoir, Massoud describes the influence his father has had on him as the current leader of the resistance. His efforts, like those of his father, have always been about restoring peace--a peace that offers freedom, justice, and democracy to all citizens of Afghanistan. Massoud also explores Afghanistan's history, explaining how it has become so broken, and outlines his ideas for reforming the current political system and restoring stability. Massoud delves into the principles of democracy, decentralization, and pluralism, emphasizing the importance of equality for all citizens, regardless of gender, ethnicity, or religious beliefs. He also emphasizes the promotion of a rational and moderate interpretation of Islam in the Muslim world, advocating for a religious framework that supports rationalism, peace, tolerance, and coexistence. This aspect of his work underlines the importance of harmonizing religious beliefs with the principles of modern democracy and human rights. This book is not just a political manifesto, but also a personal narrative that intertwines Massoud's experiences and aspirations for his nation's future, portraying a deep commitment to the values of liberty, justice, and human rights. "Even if our paths were different," he writes, "the message that my father left for me is to never give up. I won't run away from the mission that awaits me."

    Mistakenly ordered a paperback that I thought was a hardcover, not sellers fault; it was described properly on the listing. Seller still processed a refund the day I went to return the item and let me keep the item anyway. A+++ service. Book arrived quickly in great condition and for a great price. Thank you so much! Amazing seller!

    seller was communicative about my shipment, media mail took a while and tracking wasn't updated frequently, but seller communicated to me very quickly on status. the item came new and wrapped as described, though the packaging in it was packed wasn't sturdy and falling apart when it got to me.
