The Aftermath of Invasion: New Non-Fiction Novel Highlights Devastation in
Afghanistan

BLOOMINGTON, Ind., March 30 /PRNewswire/ -- Why people go out of their way to
commit heinous crimes and atrocities in the name of ideology or religion
remains an unanswered question for many around the world. "The Destruction of
Invasion and its Side Effects" (published by AuthorHouse), the new non-fiction
novel by first-time authors Ahmad Popalyar and Delores Bell, illustrates
through words the effects of hundreds of years of invasions and destruction
across the country of Afghanistan.

"The Destruction of Invasion and its Side Effects" is a compilation of
Popalyar's experiences while growing up in Afghanistan, and gives an inside
look at the devastating effects of foreign invasion on a highly religious and
culturally motivated nation. Each of the invading entities, for their own
reasons and interests, committed numerous brutalities against Afghanistan,
which in return put the country very far behind other parts of the world in
terms of development, technology and political standing. The authors write:

When somebody robs someone's property and causes destruction, killing
a member of the family the memory of that horrible thing never leaves
your mind. Its side effect is the family's natural feelings, grief and
mourning. Even though the invasion is done and the person has died the
family of the victim never forgets the tragedy for the rest of their
lives, it is a possibility even their children have inherited it. The
depression the family suffered or even the revenge and vendetta
against the invader by the family would have some influence. This
matter is probably taken lightly by the invader but the consequence
and side effect is so strong and unforgettable. The civilized world
has an obligation to stop invaders who intentionally invade and
destroy their neighbors.

"The Destruction of Invasion and its Side Effects" offers a new perspective on
the hardships being suffered by the innocent people of the Middle East.
