Synopsis
Kathy Gannon's long tenure as an AP correspondent in Afghanistan, from the mid-1980s through 2005, informs her in-depth report on the myriad forces at play following the Russian withdrawal. In this short book, Gannon chronicles both the rule of the mujahideen and the subsequent rule of the Taliban, as she examines the key personalities involved in the power politics there, and the many ways it is played out among Afghanistan's various factions. She identifies and sharply criticizes those who brought murder and chaos to the region, including Musharaff of Pakistan. Gannon points to a decade of missteps by both the U.N. and the Americans, including missed opportunities to support moderating forces within both factions. She provides new information of the rise of Osama bin Laden, with an analysis of the world post-9/11 that draws on her experience living among the Afghan people.

Publisher's Note
A gripping, intimately-observed history of Afghanistan from 1986 to the present-by the longest-serving Western journalist in the region-overturns our conventional and simplistic understandings

In early 1986 Kathy Gannon sold pretty much everything she owned (which wasn't much) to pursue her dream of becoming a foreign correspondent. She had the world to choose from: she chose Afghanistan. She went to witness the final humiliation of a superpower in terminal decline as the Soviet Union was defeated by the mujahedeen. What she didn't know then was that Afghanistan would remain her focus for the next eighteen years. Gannon, uniquely among Western journalists, witnessed Afghanistan's tragic opera: the final collapse of communism followed by bitterly feuding warlords being driven from power by an Islamicist organization called the Taliban; the subsequent arrival of Arabs and exiles, among them Osama bin Laden; and the transformation of the country into the staging post for a global jihad.

Gannon observed something else as well: the terrible, unforeseen consequences of Western intervention,the ongoing suffering of ordinary Afghans, and the ability of the most corrupt and depraved of the warlords to reinvent and reinsert themselves into successive governments. I is for Infidel is the story of a country told by a writer with a uniquely intimate knowledge of its people and recent history. It will transform readers' understanding of Afghanistan, and inspire awe at the resilience of its people in the face of the monstrous warmongers we have to some extent created there.

Industry Reviews
"Gannon tells a compelling first-person story of politics during these years, relying on her contacts with the great and the small and her reporter's eye for the seemingly minor details that illuminate much."
Foreign Affairs - L. Carl Brown
