No Good Men Among the Living by Anand Gopal
Through their dramatic stories, Gopal shows that the Afghan war, so often regarded as a hopeless quagmire, could in fact have gone very differently. Top Taliban leaders actually tried to surrender within months of the US invasion, renouncing all political activity and submitting to the new government. Effectively, the Taliban ceased to exist - yet the Americans were unwilling to accept such a turnaround. Instead, driven by false intelligence from their allies and an unyielding mandate to fight terrorism, American forces continued to press the conflict, resurrecting the insurgency that persists to this day. With its intimate accounts of life in war-torn Afghanistan, Gopal's thoroughly original reporting lays bare the workings of America's longest war and the truth behind its prolonged agony.Anand Gopal has worked as an Afghanistan correspondent for The Wall Street Journal and The Christian Science Monitor, as well as for Harper's, The Nation, The New Republic, Foreign Policy, and other publications covering the Middle East and South Asia. Gopal is a New America Foundation fellow.
