Little America by Rajiv Chandrasekaran
The author of Imperial Life in the Emerald City (winner of the 2007 Samuel Johnson Prize) now gives us the startling, behind-the-scenes story of the struggle between President Obama and the US military to remake Afghanistan.
Vital reading.. comprehensive, perceptive and detailed work ... Little America is powerful and important and should be read by anyone interested in this on-going and deeply depressing war * Jason Burke, Observer *
A handbook on how not to run a foreign war ... the book tells its story extremely well * Max Hastings, Sunday Times *
An enthralling examination of the failures of American decision-making in Afghanistan ... engrossing and sharply reported ... as an examination of the failings of American decision-making it is second to none. **** * Daily Telegraph *
Chandrasekaran is at his observant best when chronicling the absurdities of the State Department bureaucracy as it went to war in Kabul ... the book is effectively a critique of US policy and performance, and he makes a nuanced and convincing case * Guardian *
