Publisher's Summary

"In Fool's Errand, Scott Horton masterfully explains the tragedy of America's longest war and makes the case for immediate withdrawal. I highly recommend this excellent book on America's futile and self-defeating occupation of Afghanistan." - Daniel Ellsberg, Pentagon Papers whistleblower and author of Secrets: A Memoir of Vietnam and the Pentagon Papers

"The real story of the disastrous US war in Afghanistan must be written so that future generations may understand the folly of Washington's warmongers. Scott Horton's Afghan war history is an important contribution to this vital effort." - Ron Paul, M.D., former US congressman and author of Swords into Plowshares: A Life in Wartime and a Future of Peace and Prosperity

Great read! Very important.

Well written and eye opening. I may even read it again. There is so much information about important aspects of the war in Afghanistan that everyone should read.

Read it twice then bought the audio and listened

The best book about americas' middle eastern foreign policy. Bacevich is a very close 2nd but Horton for me at least is more accessible.
