Now that American troops are withdrawing, it is time to tell the full history of how we have been fighting the wrong enemy, in the wrong country. Searing personal accounts of battles and betrayals with moving portraits of the ordinary Afghanis who endured a terrible war of more than a decade. Taliban warlords, Pakistani intelligence thugs, American generals, Afghani politicians, and the many innocents who were caught up in this long war. Pakistan has fueled the Taliban and protected Osama bin Laden. A war brought by well-intentioned American leaders against an enemy they barely understood, and could not truly engage"--Provided by publisher.
