The explosive narrative of the life, captivity, and trial of Bowe
Bergdahl, the soldier who was abducted by the Taliban and whose
story has served as a symbol for America's foundering war in
Afghanistan 'A riveting journalistic account of Bowe Bergdahl's
disastrous - and weirdly poignant - choice to walk off his military
base in Afghanistan ... A spectacularly good book about an
incredibly painful and important topic' Sebastian Junger, author of
Tribe and War Private First Class Bowe Bergdahl left his platoon's
base in eastern Afghanistan in the early hours of June 30, 2009.
Since that day, easy answers to the many questions surrounding his
case--why did he leave his post? What kinds of efforts were made to
recover him from the Taliban? And why, facing a court martial, did
he plead guilty to the serious charges against him?--have proved
elusive. Based on years of exclusive reporting drawing on dozens of
sources throughout the military, government, and Bergdahl's family,
friends, and fellow soldiers, American Cipher is at once a
meticulous investigation of government dysfunction and political
posturing, a blistering commentary on America's presence in
Afghanistan, and a heartbreaking story of a naive young man who
thought he could fix the world and wound up the tool of forces far
beyond his understanding.
