The book by the well-known modern American specialist Seth J. Jones is dedicated to one of the last wars of modern history - the campaign of the United States and its allies against the Afghan Taliban, which began in October 2001 as part of a common strategy to combat terrorism and continues to this day.
This most comprehensive study to date is based both on the author's personal experience as an officer and military journalist, and on the widest range of sources, including numerous interviews with participants in the events and declassified documents from American archives. Analyzing the experience of the entire previous military history of Afghanistan, which survived the invasion of powerful armies, among which were the invincible phalanxes of Alexander the Great, the troops of the British Empire and the USSR, the author tells in detail about the origins of the vitality of the Taliban movement, the actions of the United States and allies, and reveals the reasons for the slippage of the American strategy and prolongation of the conflict. Written in a simple and accessible language, the book will be of interest not only to historians and political scientists, but also to a wide range of readers.
