Notes
- ↑ Donald N. Wilbur, editor, Afghanistan: Its People, Its Society, Its Culture, New Haven, CT: HRAF Press, 1962. Pieter K. Roest and three others contributed to this Volume 11 of the Human Relation Area Files at Yale University, also called the Survey of World Cultures. It was intended as an integrated study of the political, economic, and social affairs in Afghanistan, according to an extract available at JSTOR, which describes Dr. Roest as "an anthropologist and sociologist, formerly an area specialist in the U. S. Department of State.". The book is available at Hathitrust.
