88 Days to Kandahar: A CIA Diary

摘要

88 Days to Kandahar: A CIA Diary presents itself as the story of how, with CIA and special-forces assistance, Afghani tribal leaders pushed out al Qaeda and defeated the Taliban for political control. Author Robert Grenier's account, however, is part history, part memoir, and part political commentary, and he is at his best while describing the complex relationships that exist in Afghanistan between al Qaeda, the Taliban, the tribal warlords, the Northern Alliance, Pakistan, and India.
