Fergusson, James. Kandahar Cockney: A Tale of Two Worlds.[Signed]. London, HarperCollins, 2004. 14cm x 22cm. 376 pages. Original hardcover with dustjacket. Excellent condition. Signed by author on title page.

The remarkable and touching story of a singular friendship between the author (an affluent Western correspondent) and his Pashtun interpreter who meet in an Afghan war-zone and resume their friendship when Mir becomes an asylum seeker in London’s East End. James Fergusson’s moving and remarkable portrait of a singular friendship gives a human face to one of the most tangled and emotive issues of our time. Powerfully evoking the no-man’s land between the Third and the First Worlds, between Islam and the West, Kandahar Cockney also places a very contemporary story in a greater historical context, showing how surprisingly enduring the legacy of Britain’s colonial era really is.
