Sinopsis

1097 AD. - During the events of the First Crusade, basileus Alex Komnenos tries in vain to prevent
the massacre of thousands of Seljuk Turks residing in Nicaea. Now tainted by the horrendous crime and fearful
of his reaction, the Crusaders give him as a sign of peace gift a lonely, frightened child with no parents left.
Moved to compassion by the look on the little orphan's face, the basileus decides to take him with him and make him live at the
Grand Palace of Constantinople together with his son of the same age. That Turkish child named Yahya will go down in history
as John Axuch, and will become a close friend of the future Emperor John II.
Within a lifetime dedicated to serving the Komnenos dynasty, Axuch will ascend to the prestigious title of Grand Domestic,
becoming a well-known and respected figure even beyond the imperial borders. But even at the height of his influence,
he will never forget his original mission: to watch over the basileus John, and eventually over his heirs.

    A Nation with Two Faces: A Brave Nation in the Darkness is a powerful reflection on Afghanistan’s twenty-year war, from the U.S.-led invasion in 2001 to the chaotic withdrawal in 2021. 
     It explores the rise, fall, and resurgence of the Taliban, revealing the deep political and cultural complexities behind their return. Through the voices of civilians, it documents the immense human cost, loss, displacement, and trauma etched into daily life. The book critically examines foreign interventions, questioning motives beyond the fight against terrorism. 
     Women’s rights and media narratives are analyzed in contrast with the lived realities of Afghan women. It confronts war crimes, injustice, and the silence around accountability, urging global awareness and responsibility. 
     Eyewitness memories bring raw emotion and vivid imagery to the chaos, fear, and resilience of Afghan communities. The book remains neutral, prioritizing truth over blame, and focuses on human stories above politics. 
     It highlights the gap between foreign policies and ground realities, emphasizing cultural misunderstanding. 
     Each chapter adds depth to the complex puzzle of Afghanistan’s struggle for peace, identity, and sovereignty. 
     This is not just a story of war, but a call for compassion, justice, and a rethinking of international intervention. 
     A tribute to the resilience of the Afghan people, the book serves as both a historical record and a message for the future.
