Afghanistan and Central Asia

This page will be a work in progress.  I started with books and articles I have enjoyed or used heavily in the past, which means that the bibliography starts from a somewhat narrow focus.  I will add books, reports, and journal articles that are: 1. unavailable in free-access internet, to the best of my knowledge; and, 2. seem especially relevant or that I quote in this blog (and can’t hyperlink).  If I bring up such a reference in a post, it will be flagged in the category list as a Sourcenote, and then listed here.

The databases noted below are intended to aid those with access to them; however, many of these articles can be accessed from a library or ordered from the publishers of the journal over the internet.

I am also very interested in getting recommendations, so that over time, we can build a collaborative research bibliography of considerable academic range and striking power.
