About the Book

It has been said that Afghanistan is the "Graveyard of Empires" with a history of 5,000 years. It is also said that it has just reached a hundred year's occupation of successive invasions by Great Britain, the Soviet Union and NATO along with the United States of America. As a landlocked country, Afghanistan is known as the "Heart of Asia" and has been a battlefield for the foibles of first-world countries for many decades. The stories in this book reveal the situations of the Afghans throughout the last twenty-five years in a less than amicable environment. The reader will encounter the real meaning of Afghanistan, which at times is not as civil as perceived by western views. It also shows the heart and soul of a country that invites everyone to love and be loved in return.
About the Author: Abdul Rahman Rahmani was born on the 10th of April, 1985 in Walian Village, Khinjan District, Baghlan Province, Afghanistan. He lost his father at the age of four months and his mother remarried when he was 13 years old. He grew up with his uncle Ghulam Haidar in Peshawar Pakistan. His childhood passed among hundreds of other Afghan children in one of Peshawar refugee camps in Pakistan. When the Mujahidin took power in Kabul in 1992, Rahmani returned to Afghanistan with his uncle's family and worked hard for his school to graduate and he graduated from Ansari, high school in Kabul in 2001. In late 2002, he joined the Afghan Special Forces. In 2009, he went to The United Kingdom and The Ukraine for Flight Engineer training. He received his diploma in the middle of 2010 in aviation and worked with the Special Mission Wing (SMW) for three years while he simultaneously attended Kabul University for Sociology and Philology. He was in the middle of his studies when he published his first book, "London Our Dreams" which is a travel journal of his own experience being abroad from Afghanistan. Shortly after publishing his first book he translated three chapters of the book, "Decision Points" written by George W. Bush, the former President of United States. This book was published by Taak Publications in Kabul, Afghanistan in 2012. In late 2012, he was then selected for flight school in the United States to be an MI-17 Helicopter pilot and now he is in the midst of flight school at Fort Rucker, Alabama United States of America.
