While lauded by scholars, Professor Hassan Abbas’ new book, “The Return of the Taliban: Afghanistan After the Americans Left”, has attracted the attention of senior leaders among the Taliban, with some of them calling for his assassination. “They said I'm taking away their credit for the victory,” says Abbas. “So they want to be seen as very powerful, and that's the image they have built today to their younger people.” June 3, 2023
