Foreword

"An Afghan Tragedy the tale of sorrow and hope", is a historical novel based on the events of Afghanistan from the 70's till the present. Well written, the book will keep the reader glued to its last page.

Certain literary techniques like "stream of consciousness" and "magic realism" have been used sparingly but very effectively by the author in the novel.

Akbar Jan Marwat has evolved a new style of novel writing in which the author blends together Afghanistan's political events of the seventies with the life of a Pakistani undercover agent. The twists and turns of the tale make it an incredible reading.
