Afghanistan Without Borders: The Haqqani Network and the Road to Kabulis the untold story of the origins, political awakening, and rise of what the United States andits allies call the Haqqani Network, and what the Haqqani family calls the Haqqani Mujahideen. The author lived with the Haqqanis as a youngreporter for the New York Times in the 1980s, in the mountains ofeastern Afghanistan, when they were America's allies in the Afghan-Sovietwar. After 9/11, the network became America's enemy. This book tells the exciting story of how the author began to try to find theHaqqanis again, and, later, his quest to understand their influence in thegreater Middle East.This is the story of the rise of an ideology and movement born in theMongol conquest of Baghdad in 1258, which resurfaced in Arabia and India in the 18th Century, lived on in the anti-Christian, anti-British, anti-European, and anti-Russian colonial movements ofthe 19th and 20th centuries, and in modern times evolved, with American help, into the Haqqani Mujahideen and their allies and followers around the world.
