Underworlds: The Tao of Gangs

Abstract: Abstract In a year early in this century, you could have seen a small group of men hauling a TV set and a satellite dish up into the beige, bush-speckled mountains around Khost, Afghanistan. Their leader had asked for this equipment for reasons unknown to them, but they trusted him. Yet once in camp, the TV gave nothing but white noise. They aimed the dish at every part of the sky, but all was static. The outside world wasn’t reaching them. Finally someone turned on a radio.
