The Ledger: Accounting for Failure in Afghanistan

by David Kilcullen and Greg Mills

Book Overview

'These things happened. They were glorious and they changed the world, ' said Charlie Wilson, of America's role backing the anti-Soviet mujahideen. 'And then we fucked up the endgame.' With no support for Afghanistan after that war, the vacuum was filled by the Taliban and bin Laden. The Ledger assesses the West's similarly failed approach to Afghanistan after 9/11-in military, diplomatic, political and developmental terms.
