An Intimate War

Product Description

An Intimate War tells the story of decades of conflict in Helmand Province, Afghanistan as seen through the eyes of the Helmandis. In the west, this period is often defined through different lenses - the Soviet intervention, the civil war, the Taliban, and the post-2001 nation-building era. But, as experienced by the local inhabitants, the Helmand conflict is a perennial one, involving the same individuals, families and groups, and driven by the same arguments over land, water and power.
