Pashtun / Pashtunwali / Pashtunistan (catch all)

[davidbfpo]

Welcome aboard.

Alas the Forum Search function is not working nowadays.

However I know we had stuff so took the long route. TRy these threads, assuming you have not found them:

1. http://council.smallwarsjournal.com/...or-(catch-all)
2. http://council.smallwarsjournal.com/...41-Pashtunwali
3. One of them points to this PDF (20 pgs) http://www.afghanistan-analysts.net/...wali-FINAL.pdf
4. http://council.smallwarsjournal.com/...r-Pashtunistan
5. Mike Martin has two books, the first being reviewed by moi in Post 120 via:http://council.smallwarsjournal.com/...ing-2014/page6 and a more general book:http://council.smallwarsjournal.com/...ghlight=martin
6. Have you looked at Carter Malkasian's book, also on Helmand? Which has comments in Posts 56, 57, 58 & 68 via:http://council.smallwarsjournal.com/...ing-2013/page4
7. Finally try this NGO website, even if it covers the FATA, not Afghanistan:http://www.understandingfata.org/about-u-fata.php

I have merged four threads here and changed the title to Pashtun / Pashtunwali / Pashtunistan (catch all).

Alas the search function no longer works well.

A topical update from National Interest. It is sub-titled:

The resurgent Taliban are driven only partly by religion. They are motivated equally, if not more, by the search for Pashtun dignity and revenge.
