Thanks to a Guardian piece by Paul Kingsnorth entitled This economic collapse is a crisis of bigness, Leopold Kohr's influential book leapt to the top of our bestselling books on Amazon in October. Read it yourself to understand why Kingsnorth says that "Kohr has a good claim to be the most important political thinker that you have never heard of."
As a young US foreign correspondent, Edward Girardet arrived in Afghanistan just three months prior to the Soviet invasion in 1979, and has reported on the conflict throughout the three decades since. In his gripping, personal account Killing the Cranes (Chelsea Green), Girardet delivers a story of that nation’s resistance fighters, foreign invaders, mercenaries and others who have defined Afghanistan’s last thirty years of war, chaos, and strife.
Edward Girardet discussed his book on the BBC World Service on 7th & 8th October. Watch a video interview with him here in which he describes an encounter with Osama bin Laden.
