Afghanistan Today is a brilliantly photographed propaganda piece from the time of the rule of Babrak Karmal, who ruled Afghanistan 1979-1986. Originally published in 1981 with 240 pages, it was expanded in 1983 to 272 pages, with the pages resorted and reorganized. It is filled with full color photographs not available anywhere else. Let nobody be fooled by this book. Afghanistan was hardly the Workers Paradise depicted by this book. A brutal civil war was taking place while this book was being published, in which a million lives were lost.
