About the Book:

Amanullah: Ex-King of Afghanistan by Roland Wild chronicles the dramatic life and political journey of Amanullah Khan, one of the most significant reformist rulers in modern Afghan history. The book traces Amanullah Khan’s rise to power, his ambitious modernization efforts, and his attempts to transform Afghanistan through political, social, and educational reforms during the early twentieth century. It also explores the resistance his reforms generated, the political upheavals that followed, and his eventual exile. Through historical narrative and biographical insight, Roland Wild presents a vivid portrait of a visionary yet controversial monarch navigating a turbulent period in Afghanistan’s history. Published by Hurst & Blackett, this hardback edition is an important read for those interested in Middle Eastern history, political biography, monarchy, and twentieth-century international affairs.
