Publisher Synopsis
Afghanistan after the Western Drawdown is an important book. Refreshingly written by regional and country-specific experts, it is bold in its willingness to predict. Gunaratna and Woodall have commissioned a team of experts who leverage their understanding of history to provide excellent predictive analysis. Had such a book been written for the Iraq experience, ISIS might not have been in today's headlines. A must-read for strategic planners, operators, academics and policy wonks of all national and political affiliations. Read more...
