The first book is “Jihad-The Rise of Militant Islam in Central Asia” by Ahmed Rashid. The other book is “Three Cups of Tea” by Greg Mortenson and David Oliver Relin. Three Cups of Tea is also a foundation based out of the US and I have a link to the site here. The foundation is called the Central Asia Institute and Greg Mortenson is the founder. Read both of these books and look at the CAI web site.
