Quote

The Pashtun tribes are always engaged in private or public war. Every man is a warrior, a politician and a theologian Every large house is a real feudal fortress....Eve ry family cultivates its vendetta every clan, its feud....Nothing is ever forgotten and very few debts are left unpaid.

This is a War of the Unknown Warriors
