Why We Couldn’t Win the War or the Peace in Afghanistan
Omschrijving
Fairweather provides the first full narrative of the war in Afghanistan, drawing on 100s of interviews, previously unpublished archives and months of experience living and working there. It is a searing look at the true cost of America's 'Good War. 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.
