Regardless of your politics regarding the Afghanistan War, this book should be an excellent primer for being informed on the issues with the war. It highlights a systemic failure across administrations of all parties, along with other participants who either played both sides or were similarly rudderless. I was absolutely gobsmacked throughout the whole book and believe it's likely a worthwhile read for any American wanting to get a sense of the world we operate within.
