Abstract

"August in Kabul: America's last days in Afghanistan" is a book by Andrew Quilty that provides a fragmented narrative of the events surrounding the second coming of the Taliban in Afghanistan in August 2021. The book focuses on the experiences of individuals in Kabul during this time, but lacks sufficient attention to non-metropolitan areas. Quilty relies heavily on western, English-language sources and anonymized interviews, which may raise questions about the legitimacy of the analysis. However, the book offers valuable first-hand testimony from Taliban fighters, providing insight into their perspectives and motivations. While the book has limitations, it may be of interest to scholars and a general audience interested in long-form photojournalism. [Extracted from the article]
