In a distant valley north of Kabul, in August 2010, North american peacemaker Dan Terry and nine other help employees were attacked and wiped out in an event that made worldwide headlines. Why would one man take his family, follow faith and calling into the political and religious maelstrom of Afghanistan, and through years of conflict and strife imagine he will make a difference? In Making Friends among the Taliban, years as a child good friend Jonathan Larson retraces Dan's practically 40 years in Afghanistan, and through interviews and eye-witness accounts, relays Dan's extraordinary way of everyday living. Facing famine, poverty, jail, and rifle muzzles, and across three ages of kings, the Red Army, warlords, the Taliban, and the American-led coalition, Dan found improbable friendships over the front side lines of issue and motivated small Afghan communities to find a better way of life. This inspirational narrative of Dan's life and friendships offers a model for living authentically wherever we have been.
