If you're going to read just one set of articles on Afghanistan, this week's New York
Times series by David Rohde is it.
In a gripping, moving and informative set of five articles, Rohde details the seven
months he spent as a captive of the Taliban in Pakistan and Afghanistan. Rohde, a New
York Times reporter, was kidnapped last November.
Getting your head around what's going on in Afghanistan is tough. Rohde's first-person
account makes that far-away, inaccessible place real, explaining in very human terms
what the U.S. is up against as it tries to fight the Taliban.
