Taliban

The book connects militant Islam with economic interests, which isn't often explored in depth. I wonder what led the author to emphasize this angle in the narrative.

The detailed history helps understand the context, but I found myself wishing for more summaries to keep track of all the events. How did others experience the pacing of the background info?

Balancing depth and accessibility is tough, especially with topics as sensitive as Islam and fundamentalism. I'm curious about the author's method for making these ideas understandable yet nuanced.
