UNDER A SICKLE MOON Peregrine Hodson - A Journey Through Afghanistan (Hardcover First Edition)

A classic Afghanistan travel memoir from 1986. A scarce hardcover edition.

This is a used hardcover book in good condition: dust jacket is a bit worn at the top edge and a tear to bottom; pages are clean and tanning with age; boards are nice and clean. See photos for cover blurb and sample pages. The book in the photos is the actual book you will receive - we never use stock pictures - enjoy!

Publisher's blurb: In 1984 journalist Peregrine Hodson crossed the Pakistan border into Afghanistan with rebel mujahedin smuggling arms and ammunition, beginning a thousand-mile journey through the war-torn nation. Fluent in Farsi, he was able to observe the war with stunning intimacy and eloquently capture the essence of the Afghan people and their culture. As the travelers survived bombings by Soviet aircraft, an ambush by a rival faction, and becoming swept up in a major offensive, Hodson would come to gain a unique perspective on their hopes for peace and religious devotion. Bringing together travel writing, war reportage, and history, this is a richly rendered portrait of a complex people.
