Submitted by Zabiha News: ”Best-selling Pakistani author and journalist Ahmed Rashid’s new book, “Descent Into Chaos: The United States and the Failure of Nation Building in Pakistan, Afghanistan and Central Asia,” is a comprehensive look at the South-Central Asian region in the aftermath of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks in the United States.
Rashid uses field reports and insight into the power corridors of Washington and Europe to present a critical appraisal of the post-2001 developments in the region. The book shows why Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Central Asia are vital to winning the global struggle against the Islamist insurgents led by Al-Qaeda.
RFE/RL correspondent Abubakar Siddique spoke with Rashid during a promotional tour in the United States to ask him about some of the conclusions in his book.”

Ahmed Rashid has once again written an eye opener book. The most important thing to learn from his book is that the failures of the international community in Afghanistan are going to have its affects in surrounding Central Asian states - basically thigns will get worse.
