She knows just how much this war has cost the Afghan people, and how much damage can be traced to Pakistan and its duplicitous government and intelligence forces. 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. Gall combines searing personal accounts of battles and betrayals with moving portraits of the ordinary Afghanis who endured a terrible war of more than a decade. Her firsthand accounts of Taliban warlords, Pakistani intelligence thugs, American generals, Afghani politicians, and the many innocents who were caught up in this long war are riveting. Her evidence that Pakistan fueled the Taliban and protected Osama bin Laden is revelatory. This is a sweeping account of a war brought by well-intentioned American leaders against an enemy they barely understood, and could not truly engage."--www.Amazon.com. 610 20 $a Taliban. 610 10 $a Pakistan. $b Inter Services Intelligence. 610 20 $a Qaida (Organization) 650 0 $a Afghan War, 2001- 651 0 $a Pakistan $x Politics and government. 651 0 $a Afghanistan $x Politics and government. 651 0 $a United States $x Foreign relations $z Pakistan. 651 0 $a Pakistan $x Foreign relations $z United States. 651 0 $a United States $x Foreign relations $z Afghanistan. 651 0 $a Afghanistan $x Foreign relations $z United States. 941 $a 13 952 $l ALPE516 $d 20240417012953.0 952 $l CMPE792 $d 20230629012632.0 952 $l XXPH787 $d 20181107045809.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20181006075618.0 952 $l DBPE173 $d 20180719023756.0 952 $l HYAX325 $d 20180623024351.0 952 $l VXPE964 $d 20171214014523.0 952 $l SCPC074 $d 20170728024304.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20150926024454.0 952 $l FYPI314 $d 20150730011717.0 952 $l ZYPE837 $d 20140603031136.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20140508014020.0 952 $l OCPA943 $d 20140415011010.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=4FB490D4BEE311E3B118CA8BDAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
