Escape from Kabul : A True Story of Escape and Survival

Escape from Kabul: A True Story of Escape and Survival
by Enakshi Sengupta | Paperback – 28 October 2025

Five women. A collapsing city. One desperate bid for freedom.

When the Taliban retook Kabul in August 2021, chaos engulfed Afghanistan’s capital. For Anjali and four other women working at the Anglo-American University of Kabul, the fall of the city marked the start of an unimaginable ordeal.

Hunted for their work, forced into hiding, and uncertain whom to trust, they relied on courage, friendship, and sheer will to survive. Through forged documents, secret phone calls, and perilous midnight escapes, they risked everything for one goal — to make it out alive.

Told with unflinching honesty, Escape from Kabul is a gripping true story of resilience, sisterhood, and hope in the face of terror. Both a powerful survival memoir and a reflection on freedom, it captures what it means to reclaim one’s agency when the world collapses around you.
