We also appreciate the comments and suggestions provided by Thomas Hegghammer, Thomas Ruttig, Nelly Lahoud, Gretchen Peters, and Robert Nickelsberg, who all reviewed an earlier version of our work. This book was much improved by the helpful feedback and criticism that we received from the four anonymous reviewers of our manuscript. The National Endowment for Humanities should also be commended for their wisdom in supporting efforts to preserve these and other rare documents found within Afghanistan.

A similar thank you needs to be extended to the staff at the Afghanistan Center at Kabul University and to Atifa Rawan at the University of Arizona for facilitating access to some of the primary sources we used. It is our hope that he will build upon this work in his future endeavors and give voice to additional Pashto and Urdu materials and the contributions of Afghans to other facets of history. Our partner Ahmed was responsible for all Pashto and Urdu translations found within the text and without his talent and assistance this book would have lacked important nuance and the presentation of these primary sources. First, we owe a special thanks to Thomas Hegghammer.
