POST-WAR AFGHANISTAN
After World War II, Afghanistan faced upheaval, catapulting the country into a period of modernization, creating tension between the old way of life and the progress the mullahs hoped to capture for their homeland. Through Mark Miller, an American military man trying to rescue an American woman, Michener captures the nuances of modern Afghan life in Caravans, crafting a tale as relevant to the twenty-first century's political upheaval in the Middle East as it was during its publication in 1963.
