Said Hyder Akbar`s ordinary suburban Californian life was turned upside-down after September 11th. Hyder`s father, a scion of an Afghan political family, left for Afghanistan to become the new president`s chief spokesman & later the governor of Kunar, a rural province. Obsessed since childhood with a country he had never visited, seventeen-year-old Hyder convinced his father to let him join him. Working alongside his father at the presidential palace & in Kunar gave Hyder a unique perspective on the creation of democratic government in Afghanistan. In ” Come Back to Afghanistan”, Hyder interweaves his personal journey
- that of a teenager struggling to find his identity in his parents` homeland
- with his travels, which take him from palaces to prisons & from Kabul to the borderlands, to give a dramatic account of political & civilian life in post-Taliban Afghanistan.

This collection of 17 remarkable maritime stories stretches from 1752 to 2005 across several countries, including warships & merchantmen, steam & sail, the humble & the prestigious. Encompassing the major causes of maritime disaster
- war, weather, navigation, human failings & technology
- it highlights the themes & qualities that make the maritime drama so compelling: & it dares to challenge the popular perception of the Titanic as the greatest shipwreck story of all time. The drunken captain of an unseaworthy ferry who refuses to return to port in bad weather because he would have to refund the fares; the naval captain who entrusts the navigation of his frigate to a passenger; the crew who callously ignored freezing survivors on a dismasted wreck; the passengers who seriously believed a ship could be unsinkable. But for every instance of cruelty, criminal negligence & bad luck over the past 250 years there is another of courage, leadership, humanity & sheer audacity: the Americans who went to save the crew of the Squalus submarine trapped at a depth beyond the capability of any previous rescue equipment; the French fisherman who swam through heavy seas to a convict ship in distress; the German commander who risked his life & his U-boat to help survivors; the Spaniard who used his bowsprit as a lifeline. It brings dramatic stories, some barely known outside their own countries, some inexplicably neglected in their own, to vivid life & asks the question: what are the ingredients of a great maritimte drama?
