unwisely 's review for:
Wow, okay, this is a woman in Afghanistan who won a seat in parliament. Which is pretty cool. But she's a progressive, a fighter for the common man. In this book she sketches out some of the political history, and shows how many of the elected representatives are the same warlords that have been terrorizing the locals. (She draws a line between legitimate freedom fighters and warlords.)
Her story has moments of breath-taking appalling behavior - refusing to let her speak for the flimsiest of reason - but heart-warming support from the people she represents.
I particularly like her candor. She says things like, I wish I hadn't done [thing I did in the early throes of excitement over independence]; it legitimized the sham system.
Fascinating and inspiring.
