Recent Reads~ "Kabul In Winter: Life Without Peace in Afghanistan"

Not long ago I read an interesting book written by Ann Jones (author of "Women Who Kill") entitled "Kabul In Winter: Life Without Peace In Afghanistan".
Ann Jones went to Afghanistan "after the bombing stopped" to train Kabul's "ill equipped" English teachers, and writes about her experiences in Kabul and the surrounding area.
This book is her report on the impoverished conditions that much of Kabul endures, the lack of women's rights, and how little US aid actually hits the ground.
Not a quick, easy read, but I found it very enlightening and worth reading.
I highly recommend this book.
