Lost Decency: A Man's Reflection on the Changing World

Many memoirs written by exiles represent the country's more privileged classes, those with money and means. In Lost Decency, the author shares his and the Afghan people's turbulent journey to escape their war-torn country. This book's thrilling and inspiring history reveals how his beloved and once peaceful nation turned into one of the deadliest and most dangerous in the world.

"This is a timely book, an important one, and, incidentally, a perfect read. It offers a window into places and people whose lives impacted a few countries but about whom we know so little. Beyond the drum rolls and waving flags, it also provides a glimpse of rich cultural history and creative people brought low by warlords, mafia, and the tragic legacy of empires."
