This collection of essays explores how fighting in the rugged,
hostile lands of Afghanistan is no easy task. Afghanistan has long
been considered the graveyard of empires. Throughout their history,
Afghans have endured the ravages of foreign invaders, from
marauding hordes and imperial armies to global superpowers, while
demonstrating a fierce independence and strong resistance to
outside occupiers. Those who have ventured into Afghanistan with
notions of controlling its people have soon discovered that
fighting in that rugged, hostile land is no easy task. Afghans have
proven to be tenacious and unrelenting foes. No Easy Task examines
this legacy of conflict, particularly from a Canadian perspective.
What emerges is the difficulty faced by foreign forces attempting
to impose their will over Afghans who, for their part, have
consistently adapted tactics and strategies to stymie and defeat
those they perceive as invaders and interlopers. It is within this
complexity and challenge that the difficult counter-insurgency must
be fought.
