Over the weekend we heard the tragic news that one of Biteback’s authors, Dr Alexandros Petersen, had been a victim of a bomb blast that took the lives of 14 people in Kabul last week. Dr Petersen was working on a biography of the Georgian leader Mikheil Saakashvili due to be published by Biteback this August on the anniversary of the Russia-Georgia war of 2008. He had secured John McCain to write a foreword and was proceeding well with the book along with his co-author Richard Cashman.
As we understand it, Alexandros had just started a new job as a professor at the American University in Kabul. He was an incredibly talented student of international politics and geo-strategy, as THIS BLOGPOST, written only a week ago, demonstrates. You find out more about Alexandros on his website HERE.
A young life has been cut tragically short by the actions of Taliban terrorists. All of us at Biteback send our heartfelt condolences to his family and friends.
