Newman, Cathy. “A Life Revealed.” National Geographic. April 2002.

The topic article for this argument, National Geographic choose to utilize the famous picture that appeared on their cover in June of 1985. The magazine ran the article as a ‘Special Report’ and did not assign it a page number in the magazine. However, most of the article can also be found at National Geographic’s website at: <http://magma.nationalgeographic.com/ngm/afghangirl/index.html>. The article chronicles the search for the girl in the photo taken in a Pakistan refugee camp in 1984. National Geographic also featured the story in its Television program Explorer. Photographs by Steve McCurry.

June 1985.

This is the initial article that appeared in National Geographic in June of 1985. The photograph of the ‘Afghan Girl’ taken by Steve McCurry was used as the magazine cover for this month. The focus of the article is on the Afghan refugees in Pakistan who crossed the border to avoid attacks from the Soviets. This article also documents the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan.

I’m not really sure about my citation for this one. I filled in all the available information I had from FirstSearch. This article basically give a statistical run down of the country and a brief history. I’m using this primarily for the timeline portion of my site.

The Fall Of The Taliban." New York : Da Capo Press. Copyright 2002.

This book outlined the complete military history of Afghanistan and covered much of the US lead campaign in Afghanistan up until it's publication. I found much of the information interesting, but wanted to use caution, to avoid providing too much information and taking away from my central theme.

This article details the Taliban rule in Afghanistan and the outlines the effect it had on the country and the culture of those living in it.

This source could prove useful in defining what led to the Soviet invasion as well as to why the soviet's had control of the capital but were never able to control the rural areas of Afghanistan. It deals a lot more with the politics involved and may prove to be too focused on one area for me to make it a pillar of the argument.

Article contains a wealth of information on the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan and the war that followed. I used this article as a resource for the page outlining the war within Afghanistan and it's toll on the people. In combination with by book sources, this encyclopedia article helped my to identify points from both sources that are important to include.

Utilized this encyclopedia resource to provide a solid reference background into the Taliban and it's practices. Proved to be most helpful in the section dedicated to the Taliban.
