History of the Taliban

Life, death and the Taliban (published online by GlobalPost) seeks to enhance America’s understanding of Taliban history in Afghanistan and Pakistan. At this crucial time in the U.S.-led war against the Taliban, Charlie Sennott recaps the group’s rise to power and looks at current political and counterinsurgency efforts in Afghanistan. Photographer Seamus Murphy, who has long chronicled the shifts of power in Afghanistan, accompanied Sennott to Kabul for this report.

Of particular interest, at least to me, was the timeline listed on this website, which traces all the way back to 330BC.
