Exhaustive study of Afghanistan, from the time of Alexander the Great, through the Khans and down to the American experience. The salient lesson throughout is, 'It's easy to invade Afghanistan but it's nearly impossible to conquer, rule or even influence the country in any major way.'

The author paints a picture of a country that really isn't but is more a collection of autonomous and warring provinces.
