In response to continued interest in the first edition of my Who’s who of Afghanistan (1975), which has bee long out of print, I have decided to offer this new and updated edition. Like the first edition, it contains about 1,500 entries and is divided into the following parts: (1) Who is who, 1945-2007; (2) Who was who, 1747-1945; (3) Afghan Government Positions, 1901-1974; and (4) Genealogies of Important Afghan Families Part (1) who is who, has been replaced with a new updated section listing government officials, diplomats, and leaders of political parties. New individuals include members of the political elite from the days of President Muhammad Daud (1973-1978), the years of the civil war, and up to the Islamic Republic under President Hamid Karzai. A number of persons who should have been included in the Who Was Who section have been listed here to avoid going to the expenses of reorganizing that section. Part (2) Who Was Who in Afghanistan 1747-1945 and Part (3) Members of Afghan Government Departments have been left unchanged. Part 4 Genealogies of Afghan Families has been expanded with additions and corrections.

This title was first published in 2003. This important study contains a detailed socio-economic and political description of a region where opium and heroin are both produced and consumed. By carefully relating drug production, trade and consumption to a relatively inaccessible area on the Pakistan-Afghanistan border, the book teaches us not only about the area – itself fascinating enough, particularly since it came into global prominence following the terrorist attack of 11 September 2001 – but also about the global dimensions of the problem.

Afghanistan dominates the news today, as it often did during the Soviet occupation two decades ago. But even in the 19th and early 20th centuries at the height of the Great Game, Afghanistan was the focal point of East-West relations. Squeezed between Russia, China, India and Persia, its tortured history provides an extraordinary glimpse into the patterns of world politics. Today, Afghanistan sits at the pivot of a region where a new Great Game is taking shape, pitched between America, its rivals and the peoples of Central Asia.
