The book offers a vivid yet insightful account of what the Global War on Terror meant in Afghanistan’s unforgiving mountains and turbulent cities. Drawing on his firsthand experience in Afghanistan and his expertise as a military historian and analyst, Sean Maloney provides a compelling perspective on one of the most strategically significant conflicts of the twenty-first century.

Written from the frontline rather than the academic desk, this is a gripping chronicle of the changing nature of modern warfare in the post-9/11 world.
