He's written a book capturing the experience titled August in Kabul. Andrew Quilty had been living and working in Kabul as a photographer and journalist for more than eight years when the Taliban arrived at the gates of the city. Despite the risks, Andrew felt a strong need to stay in the city he called home, not only to document the event as a journalist, but to support friends and colleagues who did not have the choice to leave. As the Taliban moved on Kabul and locals fled, this Australian flew into its airport. For Australian photojournalist Andrew Quilty, Afghanistan and its people were captivating. The cars with blown-out windscreens stood out, as did the demolished shopfronts. Things like this led photojournalist Andrew Quilty closer and closer to the heart of ground zero in Kabul, where a bomb had been detonated, following the fall of Afghanistan to the Taliban. Few have seen as much as Andrew Quilty. The Sydney-born photographer and journalist spent almost a decade in Afghanistan, between and , documenting life in a country permeated by war.

Published 2 August ISBN Pages Told through the eyes of witnesses to the fall of Kabul, Walkley award-winning journalist Andrew Quilty's debut publication offers a remarkable record of this historic moment. As night fell on 15 August , the Taliban entered Kabul, capital of Afghanistan. After a year conflict with the United States, its Western allies and a proxy Afghan government, the Islamic militant group once aligned with al Qaeda was about to bury yet another foreign foe in the graveyard of empires. And for the US, the superpower, this was yet another foreign disaster. As cities and towns fell to the Taliban in rapid succession, Western troops and embassy staff scrambled to flee a country of which its government had lost control. To the world, Kabul in August looked like Saigon in August in Kabul is the story of how America's longest mission came to an abrupt and humiliating end, told through the eyes of Afghans whose lives have been turned upside down: a young woman who harbours dreams of a university education; a presidential staffer who works desperately…. To the world, Kabul in August looked like Saigon in August in Kabul is the story of how America's longest mission came to an abrupt and humiliating end, told through the eyes of Afghans whose lives have been turned upside down: a young woman who harbours dreams of a university education; a presidential staffer who works desperately to hold things together as the government collapses around him; a prisoner in the notorious Bagram Prison who suddenly finds himself free when prison guards abandon their post. Andrew Quilty was one of a handful of Western journalists who stayed in Kabul as the city fell. This is his first-hand account of those dramatic final days. Long-form, first-hand journalism at its finest. A dazzling and ghastly book about the ruination of war which presents flickeringly but with great power the human faces who suffer it. Now comes a revealing account both of the Taliban takeover last year and also of the roots of its inevitability August in Kabul evokes a stricken city. A remarkably accomplished feat of detailed yet understated reportage. In the case of Afghanistan it has been an honour to have the contributions of Andrew Quilty. He sees with clarity and uses words wonderfully, spoken or written, as this heartbreaking book attests. A compelling, thought provoking must-read about the days leading up to the fall of Kabul and its aftermath from a photo-journalist who spent almost a decade living in Afghanistan, capturing both its sorrows and its joys.
