When Taliban forces took Kabul on 15 August 2021, it marked the end
of the Western intervention that had begun nearly twenty years
earlier with the US-led invasion. The fall of Afghanistan triggered
a seismic shock in the West, where US President Joe Biden announced
an end to America's involvement in conflicts overseas. In
Afghanistan itself it produced terror for the future for those who
had worked with and grown up under the coalition-supported
administration. Now, with the country spiralling into economic
collapse and famine, Losing Afghanistan is a plea for us to keep
our gaze on the plight of the people of Afghanistan and to
understand how action and inaction in the West shaped the fate of
the nation. Why was Afghanistan lost? Can it be regained? And what
happens next? Edited by international development expert Brian
Brivati, this collection of twenty-one essays by analysts,
politicians, soldiers, commentators and practitioners -
interspersed with powerful eyewitness testimony from Afghan voices
- explains what happened in Afghanistan and why, and what the
future holds both for its people and for liberal intervention.
