Abstract:
The land of Afghanistan has gone through many disasters in the last three decades of the
20th century. There were atrocities, violence, killing due to civil war and invasion of the
Soviet Union. ―The Kite Runner‖ and ―A Thousand Splendid Suns‖ are two novels by
Khaled Hosseini that describe what happened to Afghanistan during the period when the
Soviet Union invaded and during the regime of the Taliban. The present study is an
analysis of the impacts of invasion of the forces on Afghanistan described in ―The Kite
Runner‖ and ―A Thousand Splendid Suns‖. Qualitative research with descriptive textual
analysis is research methodology and Johan Galtung‘s theory ―Violence, Peace and Peace
Research‖ in which he presents six distinctions of violence and typology of violence is
applied as a theoretical framework. The results of the study of the two novels; show that
forces have destroyed the peace of Afghanistan by killing its people, destroying its
landscape and this work is important because it tells about the ravages that war and
invasion brings and tells how these ravages affected the lives of the natives of
Afghanistan
