Sommario/riassunto

"This book describes the conduct of the U.S.-led post-9/11 war in Afghanistan via a long-term historical perspective. It investigates the reasons behind Washington's entrapment in a self-sustaining overreach, emphasizing policy mistakes made in late 2001 and the contradictions associated with foreign-led democratization and state-building"--
