Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. An "enthralling" memoir of a woman who risked her life to help a people under siege and a country caught between freedom and oppression (Publishers Weekly-starred review).In 1990, sixty-five-year-old activist and grandmother Barbara Bick traveled with a women's delegation to Afghanistan for what she thought would be her last great adventure. Instead, Bick forged deep friendships with her Afghan hosts-only to watch in horror as the Taliban took over most of the country and instituted fiercely anti-woman policies.Eleven years later, at age seventy-six, Bick returned to Afghanistan, travelling to the region controlled by the Northern Alliance, an anti-Taliban militia. In early September 2001, Bick walked out of a compound where militia leader Ahmad Shah Massoud was also staying. Minutes later, Taliban infiltrators assassinated Massoud-a prelude to the al Qaeda attacks on the United States.As the US government became deeply involved in Afghanistan, Bick decided to return once again to see how women were faring under the new government. In 2004, she was one of the few Western women able to bring years of experience to understanding the country's trauma.Walking the Precipicegives new insight into the people, politics, and culture of a country that is on everyone's radar-for its beauty, and for its tragic place history. A human rights activist in Afghanistan witnesses the start of the "War on Terror." Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
