The author of the acclaimed bestseller and National Book Award
finalist, Imperial Life in the Emerald City, tells the startling,
behind-the-scenes story of the US's political and military
misadventure in Afghanistan. In this meticulously reported and
illuminating book, Rajiv Chandrasekaran focuses on southern
Afghanistan in the year of President Obama's surge, and reveals the
epic tug of war that occurred between the president and a military
that increasingly went its own way. The profound ramifications this
political battle had on the region and the world are laid bare
through a cast of fascinating characters-disillusioned and inept
diplomats, frustrated soldiers, headstrong officers--who played a
part in the process of pumping American money and soldiers into
Afghan nation-building. What emerges in Little America is a
detailed picture of unsavory compromise--warlords who were to be
marginalized suddenly embraced, the Karzai family transformed from
foe to friend, fighting corruption no longer a top priority-and a
venture that became politically, financially, and strategically
unsustainable.
