The rapid collapse of Afghan National Security Forces culminated in Kabul falling to the Taliban on August 15, 2021—a development that shocked many observers around the world.
In his memoir, Massoud chronicles his lifelong struggle for freedom in Afghanistan and issues a solemn warning to global leaders: Ignoring Afghanistan’s…
