Book excerpt: Two weeks after the terrorist attacks of 11 September 2001, Jon Lee Anderson gained access to Afghanistan from where he filed some of the most outstanding accounts of the fall of the Taliban. This book brings these graphic pieces together in one remarkable volume. The Lion's Grave includes a previously unpublished account of the search for Osama bin Laden in the caves of Tora Bora and reveals the inside story of the assassination of the charismatic opposition leader Ahmed Shah Massoud. John Lee Anderson has woven together gritty up-to-the-minute observations, probing interviews and powerful storytelling to create a compelling portrait of high-technology warfare in a feudal terrain. Supplemented by vivid and hitherto unseen commentary, The Lion's Grave establishes itself immediately as a classic of war journalism.
