Rise of the Taliban in Afghanistan : Mass Mobilization, Civil War, and the Future of the Region, Paperback by Nojumi, Neamatollah, ISBN 0312295847, ISBN-13 9780312295844, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US Nojumi, a former Mujahideen fighter against the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, explores the domestic and international social, political, and economic forces that have played out in Afghanistan between 1978 and 2000. The theory of mass mobilization is central to his analysis that neither the Soviet-backed People's Democratic Party of Afghanistan nor Afghan Mujahideen leaders were able to form a political institution that represented the national interest of the Afghan people. Although Nojumi condemns the ideology of the Taliban, he argues that the Taliban understood the social and ethnic realities of the region and were able to capitalize on the decade of chaotic civil war.
