A Woman Among Warlords: The Extraordinary Story of the Afghan Woman Who Dares to Speak Out

Malalai Joya, who was the youngest member of the Afghan Parliament elected in the 2005 elections, was subsequently suspended from parliament for labeling it full of warlords. On a U.S. tour with her memoir,'A Woman Among Warlords' (Scribner), her book provides a true picture of young Afghans going through the occupation, the troubles of refugee camps and the feelings of these people towards those warlords who are once again ruling and not giving chance to the new generation to come forward and control their destiny.
