Format: Hardback
What do the conditions mean?
Our conditions mean the following:
- New - a brand new book
- Almost New - appears new but is actually secondhand.
- Very Good - only minor imperfections such as minor scuffs to edge or cover or a price written in pencil or shop sticker.
- Standard Secondhand - Clearly been read before, but not too bad. We do not recommend these for gifting. Spines usually creased. Could also include creases or folds to cover, some writing such as in the cover or elsewhere, underlining or highlighting, but might not do. Possibly some stains or marks. Similar in general to books in any secondhand shop or charity shop.
- Poor Condition - Usually this will have a specific problem such as writing inside, water damage, missing dust jacket, heavy staining, large creases or cuts. These are readable copies but not nice ones. On other websites this condition is called 'Acceptable' or 'Fair' , but we want to be more honest.

In 1979, Soviet tanks rolled across the borders of Afghanistan, beginning a period of barbaric aggression that marked a turning point in modern history. Convinced that a resistance movement is imperative, and that he is the one to lead it, the Afghan-born, American-schooled Adam Durany quickly returns to his homeland to lead an uprising against the Soviet invasion.
Durany's rebellion, however, faces insurmountable odds. Not only must he and his band of ill-equipped freedom fighters and agents repulse an occupying superpower from Afghanistan's cities and valleys, but they must also protect and keep secret from the Russian invaders a hoard of legendary lost gold that was located after centuries, and which the Communists are also desperately seeking.
Based upon Idries Shah's travels in wartime Afghanistan, and on real-life characters, Kara Kush is a riveting and fast-paced novel about one of the greatest freedom struggles of all times.
