Is Tamim Ansary a biased author? Just wanting to know before i read one of his books.

I am reading a book called "The Story of My Life: An Afghan Girl on the Other Side of the Sky"

Its a nice book about a young Afghan girl that lives in Kabul and loses her legs from land mine.

i have only read his destiny disrupted....he gives very good reasons for the causes of various historical events although his explanations for contemporary events are a bit irrelevant. he puts too much weight on single negativities in society. on the other hand, he continually brought afghanistan in the picture in destiny disrupted which is islamic world history which is GOOD.

Good question, no idea if he is in this particular book as I'm just getting started. Haven't even yet googled his name.

From my Sociology professor, i have been told he has written some very good books. But coming from someone that doesnt know the depth of Afghans, just making sure if he is biased or not.

But the book i am currently reading, if you take a look at my post here, he has joined with a young Afghan girl, Farah Ahmadi, in writing that memoir. Its a good short memoir, made me a little teary, check it out
