New Releases by Jon Lee ANDERSON

Kandahar, a city of Pashtuns noted for their gaiety, so to speak, where Mullah Omar had made his final headquarters, has traditions of men in high-heeled sandals, with make-up of kohl and painted nails like sultry silent-movie stars. The Magnum photographer Thomas Dworzak, on war assignment for The New Yorker, discovered these photographs of the Taliban days after they had fled the city. They hung among portraits of Bruce Lee, Leonardo DiCaprio and Ahmed Shah Massoud, their faces retouched by the artful brushwork of the photographer. Thomas Dworzak, originally from Koetzting, Bavaria Forest, began freelancing in Eastern Europe and the Middle East in 1991. Three years later he was based in Tbilisi, Georgia, covering the Caucasus and Chechnya.

Illuminating a region to which America will be inextricably bound for some time to come, "New Yorker" staff writer Anderson offers an unprecedented look into the forces that shape the Afghan conflict and the players who may threaten Afghanistan''s future.

Esta biografia, de uma das figuras mais influentes, polêmicas e carismáticas de nosso século, traz 60 fotos inéditas e exclusivas e é fruto de seis anos de pesquisa e elaboração. O autor entrevistou amigos, familiares e companheiros de luta de Guevara, muitos deles aceitando falar pela primeira vez de sua experiência com o líder cubano. Lee Anderson é o único biógrafo a revelar toda a verdade sobre o foco guerrilheiro organizado por Che na Argentina, no início da década de 60, um episódio sobre o qual, até agora, se sabia muito pouco.
