https://www.midlandbookshop.com/s/607fe93d7eafcac1f2c73ea4/60ba699a3d94a91989903e0c/9789352644063.jpg
The Last Warlord tells the story of the legendary Afghan warlord Abdul Rashid Dostum a larger-than-life figure who guided US Special Forces to victory over the Taliban after 9/11. Having gained unprecedented access to General Dostum his family and his sub-commanders as well as local chieftains mullahs elders Taliban prisoners and women's rights activists scholar Brian Glyn Williams paints a fascinating portrait of this Northern Alliance Uzbek commander who has been shrouded in mystery and contradicting hearsay. In contrast to sensational media accounts that have mythologized the 'bear of a man with a gruff laugh' who 'some Uzbeks swear has on occasion frightened people to death' Williams carefully chronicles Dostum's rise from peasant villager to Uzbek leader and skilled strategist who has fought a long and bitter war against the Taliban and Al Qaeda fanatics that have sought to repress his people.
