"Many memoirs written by exiles represent the country's more privileged classes, those with the money and means. In Lost Decency, Atta Arghandiwal shares his and the Afghan people's turbulent journey to escape their war-torn country. Every refugee's story deserves to be heard, but Atta's thrilling and inspiring history uncovers the truth about how his beloved and once peaceful nation turned into one of the deadliest and most dangerous in the world" --Cover, p.
