ISBN 81-8290-020-4 This book " A Wounded Afghanistan : Communism", Fundamentalism and Democracy examines the impact of foriegn interventions since 1979 on the socio-political developments of Afghanistan and the circumstances, which made it the epicenter of terrorism. The strategic location of Afghanistan in central Asia and its closeness to Eurasia led to geopolitical rivalry for resources loot between imperialistic powers, the British empire and USA on the other hand and Czarist Russia and USSR on the other. The Soviet intervention in the 1970s and the sovietization of Afghanistan led to the emergence of Mujahideen resistence andn political upsurge of Islamic fundamentalism (Talibanism), a sort of restoration with vengeance of the Afghan version of Islamic laws in politics and society.
