Outstanding. In my opinion, best book I've read on Afghanistan & our involvement pre & post 9-11. Written in 2004, so I know much has changed, but it was comprehensive in its time.

Probably the definitive account of covert operations in Afghanistan from the 70‘s up until 9/11. If that‘s interesting to you, this is your book.

#Afghanistan #augustisatrip This Book won the Pulitzer for General Nonfiction in 2005.Still on the TBR.I want to know what happened,I know I will be angry about what the CIA got wrong ,angry and sad for the innocent who are victims of the warfare and the gamesmanship.

Just one Word: Mind-blowing

Russia, the United States, Pakistan, and Saudi Arabia have been playing a deadly game of “Who rides the tiger” in Afghanistan for many years. While the United States has waffled in involvement, the Taliban and Bin Laden were highly focused and goal oriented. I am pessimistic about the outcome of any wars on terror.

And here we are....

The FBI and CIA are supposed to be on our side, right?

Short-term solutions lead to long-term problems...sadly, the information was available at the time, they just chose to ignore it because it didn‘t fit the political majority‘s views at the time.....

#maybookflowers #war A fascinating look at the choices which lead to 9/11 and decades of war in Afghanistan.
