A devastating, well-honed prosecution detailing how our government bungled the initial salvo in the so-called war on terror, ignored attempts by top Taliban leaders to surrender, trusted the wrong people, and backed a feckless and corrupt Afghan regime . . . It is ultimately the most compelling account I've read of how Afghans themselves see the war.\"\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e--\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe New York Times Book Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eThis gripping account stunningly lays bare the workings of America's longest war and the truth behind its prolonged agony.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e In a breathtaking chronicle, acclaimed journalist Anand Gopal traces the lives of three Afghans caught in America's war on terror. He follows a Taliban commander, who rises from scrawny teenager to leading insurgent; a U.S.-backed warlord, who uses the American military to gain wealth and power; and a village housewife trapped between the two sides, who discovers the devastating cost of neutrality. Through their dramatic stories emerges a stunning tale of how the United States had triumph in sight in Afghanistan--and then brought the Taliban back from the dead.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Unity Books","offers":[{"title":"No Good Men Among the Living: America, the Taliban, and the War Through Afghan Eyes","offer_id":50627035431109,"sku":null,"price":51.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0625\/6679\/3413\/files\/978-1-250-06926-9.jpg?v=1791241810","url":"https:\/\/unitybooks.myshopify.com\/products\/no-good-men-among-the-living-america-the-taliban-and-the-war-through-afghan-eyes","provider":"Unity Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
