This book comprises English translations of~Nizh{\={a}}dn{\={a}}mah-i Afgh{\={a}}n~(Afghan Genealogy) and~Taẕakkur al-Inqil{\={a}}b~(Memoir of the Revolution), the culminating works of Fayż Muḥammad K{\={a}}tib Haz{\={a}}rah{\textquoteright}s monumental history of Afghanistan,~Sir{\={a}}j al-taw{\={a}}rikh~(The History of Afghanistan).~Nizh{\={a}}dn{\={a}}mah-i Afgh{\={a}}n, a detailed guide to all the ethnic and religious communities in Afghanistan in the first third of the 20th century, is the first locally-produced ethnography by a modern Afghan scholar. The~Taẕakkur al-Inqil{\={a}}b~is Fayz Muhammad{\textquoteright}s journalistic record of seven of the nine months of Amir Ḥabib All{\={a}}h Kalak{\={a}}ni{\textquoteright}s reign in 1929. Together with~The History of Afghanistan~these works offer an incomparable resource for the history of Afghanistan from the mid-18th to the mid-20th centuries.
