Summary:"In the wake of the 9/11 attacks, journalist Andrew North arrived in Afghanistan for the first time. Meanwhile, the lives of five young Afghans were about to change forever: Farzana had been banned from attending school as a child, but education would take her further than she could have imagined. Bilal's dream of becoming a journalist was about to come true, but it would also expose him to untold danger. Abdul was on the cusp of finally becoming a doctor after his studies were delayed by years of war. Jahan's shoe-shine business was beginning to take a completely unexpected turn. And Naqibullah's life in a quiet province was soon to be shattered by the arrival of Western forces. 'War & Peace & War' tells their stories, and those of many others North came to know over twenty years."
