Afghanistan is often imagined by North Americans to be either an inferno of endless turmoil and repression of women or a rest stop for hippies seeking enlightenment, drugs, and groovy carpets. In our popular imagination, the country remains frozen in a narrow framework of misperception and dismissal as a failed state. Canadian novelist Phil Halton ( This Shall Be a House of Peace), a former military officer and enthusiastic world traveller, aims to change that misconception with his political history, Blood Washing Blood, a reflection on why Afghanistan seems mired in a pattern of bloodshed, corruption, and hopelessness. By linking the country’s present challenges to policy decisions made a century ago by leader Amānullāh Khan, Halton illustrates how the gap has continually widened between seemingly beneficial policy intentions in Kabul and their failure to take root in largely rural areas where the national capital seems as distant as the moon.
