Art of War: Pasadena Painter Captures the Essence of Afghanistan
Hidden under a sheet and surrounded by Afghan rebel soldiers in an ambulance, Peter S. Adams of Pasadena bumped his way across the legendary Khyber Pass into Afghanistan.
In billowy shirt and draw-strlng pants, he had adopted the look of a moujahedeen, or holy warrior. He wore a traditional Nuristani hat to cover his golden hair, now dyed black. His long beard and eyebrows were also dyed.
