The 4th edition of the Afghanistan Analyst Bibliography is now available for download:
I’ve changed the sections a little and eliminated double listing sources. The page count is now at 148 pages. There are many new sources from 2008 and 2009, plus some older sources that I missed. Here’s what’s inside:
1. Ethnic Groups
2. Conflict and Mobilization: War, Ethnicity, Jihad, Factions, “Warlords,” etc… (Late 1970s to the present)
3. Islam, Political Islam, Sharia, Jihad, Sects, and Religious Affairs

5. Policy Recommendations and Criticisms
6. Opium Cultivation, Drug Use and Trafficking
