The Road to Chaos by Paolo Woods
2003 has been for Afghanistan a year of the sharp disappointments: the promised international money has been hijacked by the new war in Iraq, the Taliban are reforming and controlling large sections of the south, the warlords have regained unrivaled power in the rest of the country, the poppy cultivations is at it's all time records, the women situation has not much improved, and the central government of Karzai controls little more then Kabul.
A journalist and a photographer travel the national road, or what is left of it, that forms a ring around the country uniting Kabul with Mazar, Herat, Kandahar, Ghazni and then back to Kabul to try and trace a state of the nation.
A nation that has been on the international stage for a season and soon forgotten.
