The first account of the new Talibanâshowing who they are, what they want, and how they differ from their predecessors
Â
Since the fall of Kabul in 2021, the Taliban have effective control of Afghanistanâa scenario few Western commentators anticipated. But after a twenty-year-long bitter war against the Republic of Afghanistan, reestablishing control is a complex procedure. What is the Talibanâs strategy now that theyâve returned to power?
Â
In this groundbreaking new account, Hassan Abbas examines the resurgent Taliban as ruptures between moderates and the hardliners in power continue to widen. The group is now facing debilitating threatsâfrom humanitarian crises to the Islamic State in Khorasanâbut also engaging on the world stage, particularly with China and central Asian states. Making considered use of sources and contacts in the region, and offering profiles of major Taliban leaders, Return of the Taliban is the essential account of the movement as it develops and consolidates its grasp on Afghanistan.
