Drugs, war and terrorism were the unholy trinity that brought the
US-led air campaign crashing down on the Taliban regime in
Afghanistan in October 2001 in Operation Enduring Freedom, and this
photographic history is a graphic introduction to it. The immediate
aim was to eject the Taliban from power, and to capture or kill the
al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden and his supporters whom the Taliban
were sheltering. The decade-long war that followed, first against
the Taliban regime, then against Taliban insurgents, is one of the
most controversial conflicts of recent times. It has also seen the
deployment of thousands of coalition troops and a huge range of
modern military equipment, and these are the main focus of Anthony
Tucker-Jones's account. He covers the entire course of the
conflict, from the initial air war, the battle for the White
Mountains and Tora Bora, the defeat of the Taliban, the escape of
bin Laden and the grim protracted security campaign that followed -
an asymmetrical war of guerrilla tactics and improvised explosive
devices that is going on today.
