About this audiobook
After listening to callers on a morning radio talk show urging that Afghanistan be nuked or otherwise destroyed on September 12, 2001, Tamim Ansary wrote an e-mail that changed the course of his life. Ansary received unexpected international fame after sending this e-mail to twenty friends comparing the Taliban to Nazis and his Afghan people to Jews in concentration camps.
