Poetry of the Taliban is a new book by SOAS alum Alex Strick van Linschoten and Felix Kuehn. It is a compilation of poems written by members of the Taliban and posted to their website. I’ve never been to Afghanistan, but if I do go, this will be going with me.
The fact that this book exists says more about the Taliban than you will probably learn from all the intelligence briefs your brain can handle.
