Without Borders: The Haqqani Network and the Road to Kabul is the untold story of the origins, political awakening, and rise of what the United States and its allies call the Haqqani Network, and what the Haqqanis call the Haqqani Mujahideen. The author lived with Jalaluddin, and his younger brother, Ibrahim, and sixteen fellow tribesmen, as a young correspondent for the New York Times in the early 1980s, in the mountains of eastern Afghanistan, when they were America’s allies in the Afghan-Soviet war. Five years later, half of them were dead. Today the Haqqani Network is the most powerful jihadist group in the world.
