 Rob Schultheis is a journalist covering Afghanistan for publications like Time and the New York Times Magazine. Schulthesis found the beauty of Afghanistan stark and challenging when he first travelled there in the 1970's. It was untouched, forgotten by the rest of the world for five centuries.
To peasants and warlords who fought with only bolt-action accuracy, Afghanistan's Army was not prepared for Russian tanks, infantry and missles. Yet the nationalistic fervor arising with the holy warriors or Mujaheddin were no match for the Russians and they left Afghanistan with no victory to their credit.
Schultheis covers the valiant courage of the Mujaheddin's decade of guerilla defense through bleak winters and rugged mountains. His reporting about Afghan personal and cultural losses is convincing enough to shake even the most hawkish American's support of bombing Afghanistan.
