"This is number two hundred and nineteen in a second numbered series of the Miegunyah Volumes made possible by the Miegunyah Fund established by bequests under the wills of Sir Russell and Lady Grimwade.

"This is Afghanistan is award-winning photojournalist Andrew Quilty's visual record of his nine years in this vibrant, complex and war-ravaged country. Quilty was one of a small number of journalists who remained in Kabul to witness the withdrawal of international military forces from Afghanistan, the collapse of its government and the return to power of the Taliban. In the years leading up to this moment he had travelled to all parts of the country, documenting the war and its effects on the lives of Afghans. As someone who had come to love Afghanistan and to call it home, Quilty's images and commentary provide a unique, powerful and personal insight into a land and a people who, having lived and died, withered and thrived for five decades, are once again isolated from much of the rest of the world."--Back cover.
