Prayer for an Infidel: Memories from Afghanistan Eileen Masters

It's the summer of 1992 and given the opportunity to visit a region of the world I loved, to do work that I loved, how could I refuse? But I failed to update myself on the security situation and found myself travelling into Kabul, Afghanistan, just as most others were preparing to leave. These are my memories taken from my diaries and letters that I wrote at that time. There are ups and downs, successes and failures,while the voices of home, family and childhood speak to me from England to the East. "Eileen witnessed some of the worst days of Afghanistan's deadly factional conflict and not only survived but assisted thousands of Afghans whose lives had been turned upside down" - Michael Semple."Prayer For An Infidel is as we have in our Persian language, called: Safar Nama means journey letters, wherein the writer records the events of an age for the use of future generations" - Ahmad Zia Langari. "The pages reminded me of all those days during the severely dangerous situation in Afghanistan"- Nafisa Nezam
