Opis

In its earliest days, the American-led war in Afghanistan appeared to be a triumph, a 'good war' in comparison to the debacle in Iraq. This book explores the intentions and hubris that caused the West's strategy in Afghanistan to flounder, refuting the long-held notion that the war could have been won with more troops and cash.

Recenzje

An excellent account. The outline of Fairweather's story is sadly familiar, but he writes with exceptional lucidity and punch... No British officer should be allowed to board a plane for our next war until he has read Fairweather's account of how we messed up the last one. Max Hastings Sunday Times
