SUMMARY OF THE BOOK: Abdullah’s Lament is an alternative history novel that explores the psyche and identity of Afghans and their neighbours. It is inspired by Tolstoy and Dostoevsky's treatment of ethics, politics, love, and human relations. Threads of alternative history, vivid settings, and compelling characterization come together to illustrate the vibrant geography, history, linguistics, and myths of the Afghans and Afghanistan.

A tumultuous history has embroiled Afghanistan since the 1978 communist coup d'etat. After more than 40 years of civil war, peace remains as elusive as ever. What if an Afghan hero had emerged, who with brilliant foresight had transformed the 1979 Soviet invasion into a success for the Afghans?
