Review, 2002
Rs 680

This is a young Afghan woman's compelling account of her clandestine war of resistance against the Taliban and religious fanaticism as part of the Revolutionary Women of Afghanistan. She grew up in Afghanistan but escaped to Pakistan as a teenager after the disappearance and death of her parents. Zoya is our witness to the horrors perpetrated
by the Taliban and the Mujahaddin warlords.
