LONGWOOD, FL--At the age of 17, author Shafie Ayar was a medical student enrolled in Kabul University when his world suddenly changed--communism had come to Afghanistan. Within the pages of the riveting new Xulon Press book, Afghan Hearts & Minds ($15.99, paperback, 978-1-61212-022-2), readers will follow his harrowing journey as he was forced to risk death for the country he loved in a story about imprisonment, torture, liberty, family, and love. Now an American citizen, the author guides readers through his personal tale about entering adulthood alongside the first members of the Taliban, communist revolutionaries, Afghan Jihadists, and future terrorists. This story is more important than ever, as his long lost world collides with his new home here at the dawn of the 21st century.
"Afghanistan and the Afghan war is in our headlines every day, and this book is offering the most important information about Afghanistan," the author says. "I know, and I see things in this war that others do not see. I see our ship is sinking in Afghanistan, and I know how to prevent that and save us. I know how to get rid of Muslim extremists because I know what they are."
Shafie Ayar, who is an Afghan expert with 30 years of educated personal experience and knowledge about Afghanistan, has written four books since 1986. In this, his latest book, he hopes to help open the eyes of readers everywhere to what is truly going on in Afghanistan today. It is his belief that by using this book, readers will be able to help win the Afghan war.
