「在帝國的邊緣活下去！」與大國政治的對抗，以及內戰、奪權、民主化、復辟、游擊隊……，這是阿富汗人兩個百年的故事，也是他們的集體命運，更是這個國家帶給我們的啟示與力量。一部阿富汗的現代史一段從內部視角展開論述的阿富汗史一個從未被徹底征服、在強權的夾縫中求生的民族故事繼暢銷著作《中斷的天命》之後，塔米．安薩里最新中譯作品要如何敘述阿富汗的現代史？它是一齣史詩劇、一部恐怖電影、一個悲劇，卻也是一場離奇荒誕的鬧劇。在這兩個世紀裡，每過四十年左右，就有一個全球強權試圖控制阿富汗，而後傷痕累累、垂頭喪氣地離開。本書講述了這段令人困惑的歷史，不過不是以外部視角，而是以內部向外看的視角來論述的。外部列強的干預和入侵僅僅是阿富汗歷史的一部分，卻不是它的全部；實際上，阿富汗人有一個自己的故事，儘管經常受到外國勢力的阻斷，但它還是以「之」字形的形式不斷重新展開，朝著某個終點前進。作者在書中以「叼羊」（buzkashi）這個盛行於中亞的競技比喻兩百多年前的阿富汗社會，這個競賽表面上沒有明定的規則，但背後仍有一定的秩序可循；而各強權國家在阿富汗土地上的競逐，反而才是一場真正的沒有規則的競賽，它與這塊土地上的人們無關，阿富汗被捲入其中，只因為無奈地身在這場競賽的最前沿。透過本書，足以讓我們認識這個在近百年來一直位於國際爭議的中心，但從未被外部世界完全瞭解的國家；並且在這個國家的故事裡，看見在強權的夾縫中生存的命運與韌性。【本書特色】一、本書是來自諸帝國的邊緣，真實的阿富汗之聲。阿富汗位於西亞、南亞和中亞的交會處，是地緣政治的衝突帶；一部阿富汗的近代史，也就是一部與入侵者對抗的歷史。英國與俄羅斯在此展開了「大博弈」，英國和阿富汗打了三場戰爭，都沒占上風；而俄國沙皇的野心也未能實現。在二次戰後，阿富汗又成為美蘇冷戰對抗的前線。世界強權對於此地的爭奪從未停止，但阿富汗卻從未消失，本書說明了這個國家為何不但沒有被融合，反而讓自己形成一個有別於入侵者的實體。二、作者以其阿富汗背景及穆斯林根基，揉合西方及阿富汗史料、親身的採訪觀察，加上自己的家族故事，寫成一部阿富汗觀點的國族歷史：從「國父」阿赫邁德．沙．巴巴開始，再到「偉大的埃米爾」多斯特・穆罕默德大帝，經歷阿布杜拉赫曼、阿曼努拉、納迪爾．汗、札希爾．沙、薩達爾．達吾德的統治時代，直到後來的阿富汗人民民主黨、塔利班等。這段阿富汗的「演義」，突顯了這個國家
