Book Summary 
Published in March 1998, Fundamentalism Reborn? is a compelling anthology of essays by leading experts that explores the rise of the Taliban in the mid‑1990s—from the chaotic aftermath of Soviet withdrawal and civil war to the emergence of a puritanical, fundamentalist regime. The volume traces the Taliban’s origins, military ascent, ideological vision, social impact (especially on women and justice), and the geopolitical context that facilitated their gain of power. Contributors demonstrate that the Taliban’s success was deeply tied to external support—particularly from Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and initially even tacit U.S. backing—while opponents like Iran and the Northern Alliance received backing from Russia, India, and Central Asian states. The anthology also critically examines the failures of international actors—such as ineffectual UN diplomacy—and offers insights into how Afghanistan’s fate became subject to a new “Great Game” of regional influence.

About the Editor: 
William Maley is an eminent Australian scholar and specialist in Afghan politics and diplomacy. He served as Professor of Diplomacy at the Australian National University and was the founding director of its Asia‑Pacific College of Diplomacy. Author and editor of several books on Afghanistan—including The Afghanistan Wars and Political Order in Post‑Communist Afghanistan—he is widely recognized for his rigorous analysis of war‑torn societies and regional power dynamics. Fundamentalism Reborn? remains a seminal resource on the Taliban, praised as “an invaluable academic resource” by the Washington Times and highlighted by Foreign Affairs as “a useful analysis” of Taliban governance and international involvement
