One of the founders of the Center for Afghanistan Studies at the University of Nebraska, Omaha, he was slated to be US Ambassador to Afghanistan in 1961 but was prevented by a political fluke and became ambassador to the Central Africa country of Togo from which position he later resigned on a matter of principle. After his death Princeton University established a Leon Poullada Memorial Lecture series in his honor. His widow Leila completed this book after his death. He had obtained much of the information about the early period of formal US-Afghan relations from Cornelius Van H. Engert (1888-1985), first American diplomatic representative to Afghanistan from about 1937 to the early forties.

Leon Poullada (1913-1987) was one of the outstanding American scholar-diplomat specialists on Afghanistan. One of the founders of the Center for Afghanistan Studies at the University of Nebraska, Omaha, he was slated to be US Ambassador to Afghanistan in 1961 but was prevented by a political fluke and became ambassador to the Central Africa country of Togo from which position he later resigned on a matter of principle. After his death Princeton University established a Leon Poullada Memorial Lecture series in his honor. His widow Leila completed this book after his death. He had obtained much of the information about the early period of formal US-Afghan relations from Cornelius Van H. Engert (1888-1985), first American diplomatic representative to Afghanistan from about 1937 to the early forties.
