No Good Men Among the Living
America, the Taliban, and the War through Afghan Eyes (American Empire Project)
Anand Gopal
Discover the truth behind America's longest war with Pulitzer Prize finalist "No Good Men Among the Living." Follow three Afghans - a Taliban commander, a U.S.-backed warlord, and a trapped housewife - through years of U.S. missteps and false intelligence that resurrected the insurgency that persists today. With vivid personal detail, this stunning chronicle lays bare the workings of the conflict and shows how the American intervention in Afghanistan went so desperately wrong.
