Buy 2 copies of thsi book immediately!
20 Nov 2011
Format:Hardcover
Don't think another minute. Buy two copies of this book and give one to a friend. They will thank you profusely for your thoughtful gift. Terry Glavin is one of Canada's most important writers. Given that most journalists today actually practice stenography, Terry is a throwback to something real - a journalist who actually asks the hard questions and actually goes where he needs to be. I should say up front that I am a friend of Terry's, so I am biased - but that doesn't make me wrong. "Come From The Shadows" not only gives you an accurate history of Afghanistan, but Terry takes you on a tour of the country through the eyes of Afghans. And, you'll discover a people yearning for peace and security - and people who appreciate the sacrifices that many countries have endured in the fight against savage Talibanism. Glavin also analyzes the anti-war left and this part of the book should be required reading in every school and University. Needless to say, he is disgusted that many on the left seen anxious to abandon the Afghan people - and, for some reason, resigned to the Taliban taking over again. And, as Glavin says over and over again, who can blame the Afghans for putting their bets on the Taliban when they see the West wavering and unsure in our commitment to democracy. Essential reading and once you discover Terry Glavin, you'll want to read his other books and his blog.
