Escape from Kabul - The Inside Story (Hardcover)

The evacuation of Kabul in August 2021 will go down in military
history as one of the most unexpected events in modern times. In an
eerie replay of the disastrous British retreat from Kabul in 1842,
coalition troops withdrew from Afghanistan after 20 years of
military campaigning. The subsequent collapse of the Afghan
government and its army shocked the world, as a resurgent Taliban
gathered its forces and swept across the country. Thousands of
Afghans who had worked with the allies were left to the meagre
mercy of the Taliban. As the Taliban went door to door to execute
'collaborators', a small international task force set out on a
daring mission to evacuate as many Afghans and their families as
possible. Drawing on a wide range of first-hand accounts - the
politicians and officers who planned the trans-continental rescue,
the young soldiers who were faced with the unenviable task of
keeping a crowd of thousands of desperate people at bay, former
interpreters and soldiers of the Afghan Special Forces who made it
out - Escape from Kabul is the harrowing true story of Operation
Pitting and the Kabul airlift.
