Outstanding book A great background of Afghanistan leading up to OEF. The author just presents the facts and doesn't offer his own political opinion.
Desperate attempt by the ill-prepared ... Ghost Wars is a very well researched account of the events leading up to the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon on September 11 2001.
