I just finished up the 5th edition of the Afghanistan Analyst Bibliography. I checked all the hyperlinks, which most institutions changed because they want all links to their work to die a horrible death. That took a few eons. And it has much more content, and not just from 2009. I’ve changed around the sections a bit and made formatting alterations to shorten the page count as well. But it still goes long at almost 190 pages. Oh, and there are bookmarks. Here it is:
The Afghanistan Analyst Bibliography, 5th edition (1.1MB PDF)
If there is a source (academic article, institutional report, book) that you feel is missing, just fire me off an email (I’ll just lose it if you write anything in the comments here) and I’ll sneak it into the version that I keep at the Afghanistan Analyst.
And here’s a copy at scribd:
