Afghan hearts & minds

Shafie was a 17 years old medical student at Kabul University when his world suddenly changed - Communism had come to Afghanistan. This is the harrowing journey of one man forced to risk death for the country he loves; about imprisonment and torture; about liberty, family, and love. An American citizen today, Shafie takes us through his personal tale entering adulthood alongside the first members of the Taliban, Communist revolutionaries, Afghan Jihadists, and future terrorists. A story that is more important than ever, as his long lost world collides with his new home here at the dawn of the 21st Century.For information visit Afghanexpert.netEdited by James Cummins
