The uprising was a response to the ruler's attempts to modernize the tribal culture of Afghanistan. Kabul, then as now, was of considerable symbolic importance, and its loss sounded the death knell to the king's power and his reforms, much as the defeat of the Soviet-backed government in 1993 spelled the end of Marxist power in Afghanistan as well as its efforts at reforming this unyieldingly tribal society.Until now, there has been no account of the nine-month rule of the outlaw-king, Habib Allah, nicknamed 'Son of the Watercarrier,' from inside the capital. This account of the occupiers' extortion, confiscation, and the resulting hardships, as well as the actions of those who resisted, is a timely reminder of the drama being played out in Afghanistan today. This edition is also illustrated.
