...often obscured and, she argues, outright ignored by the West. Gannon’s narrative arc spans social and political divisions, with interviews that range from the most senior-ranking government officials in both the mujahideen and Taliban eras to average Afghani citizens of nearly every tribe and creed. Her book becomes more than an excellent political history; it is also a people’s history, interwoven with stories of normal Afghani people literally caught in the crossfire that add a layer of complexity to oft-cited terrorist stereotypes.

Antonioni, true to his creed, won't say - unless we are to take Blowup's last shot as the answer to this larger question. Thomas is seen from a distance alone on a green field. And then he disappears, as Anna had in L'Avventura. This is the anticonjuror's dogma: not seeing is believing...
