Young Afghans knew the promise of freedom, democracy, and safety, fought with each other over its meaning-and then witnessed its collapse.

We also meet Parasto, who risks her life running clandestine girls' schools under the new Taliban regime, and Fahim, a rags-to-riches tycoon who is forced to flee. With intimate access to these and other characters, Rasmussen offers deep insight into a country betrayed by the West and Taliban alike. …
