Mr. Gutman, who won the 1993 Pulitzer Prize for his coverage of the Balkans, and Dr. Atash, one of the first Afghan-Americans to return to Afghanistan after 9/11, trace in their books the historic, political, and cultural realities of Afghanistan and its relationship with the West at various points in time. They provide perspectives on how critical the understanding of a country's history, culture, and people is to formulating U.S. policy and an assessment of current counterinsurgency and reintegration efforts.
