520    A wisecracking foreign correspondent recounts her 
       experiences in Afghanistan and Pakistan while sharing 
       cautionary observations about the region in its first post
       -Taliban years and the responsibilities of the U.S. and 
       NATO 
520    Kim Barker is not your typical, impassive foreign 
       correspondent OCo she is candid, self-deprecating, and 
       funny. At first an awkward newbie in Afghanistan, she 
       grows into a wisecracking, seasoned reporter with grave 
       concerns about the ability of US might to win hearts and 
       minds in the region. As she does the OCyTaliban shuffleOCO
       between conflict zones, Barker offers a close-up account 
       of the war in Afghanistan and Pakistan, chronicling the 
       years after AmericaOCOs initial routing of the 
       Taliban.When Barker arrives in Kabul, foreign aid is at a 
       record low, electricity is a pipe dream, and of the few 
       remaining foreign troops, some arenOCOt allowed out after 
       dark. Meanwhile, in the vacuum left by the US and NATO, 
       the Taliban is regrouping.Swift, funny, and wholly 
       original, The Taliban Shuffle unforgettably captures the 
       absurdity and tragedy of our modern wars. -- Publisher
