Summary

"I did not begin by thinking about war in general, but about a particular war, above all about the American intervention in Afghanistan. This may sound odd because the war was quickly overshadowed by wars in Iraq, against ISIS, in Syria, by Russia, and much else besides. Most observers long ago turned their attention elsewhere. But having served in Afghanistan with the U.S. Army, served as an analyst for the Central Intelligence Agency in the Office of South Asian Analysis, and served as director for Afghanistan and Pakistan on the National Security Council staff in the White House for Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama, I did not have that luxury"-- Provided by publisher.
