Description
With remarkable access to leading players in the postwar government, Chayes witnessed a tragic, perverse turn of events: the U.S. government and armed forces allowing and abetting the return to power of corrupt militia commanders to the country. In addition, the reinfiltration of Taliban forces was supported by a U.S. ally, Pakistan.
In this dramatic account of her four years on the ground, working with Afghanis to restore their country to order and establish democracy, Chayes opens Americans' eyes to the sobering realities of this vital front in the war on terror.
Ce que les critiques en disent
"Absorbing...necessary, even" (Kirkus)
"[Chayes'] hands-on experience as a deeply immersed reporter and activist gives her [book] a practical scope and persuasive authority." (Publishers Weekly)
