Summary
Operation Enduring Freedom on October 7, 2001, marked the beginning of the so-called ‘War on Terror’ in Afghanistan, which to date has become the longest war fought by the USA and its allies, with thousands of deaths and injuries. For the first time, Emran Feroz describes this 20-year war from an inner Afghan perspective. From speaking to Hamid Karzai and Taliban officials to interviews with affected citizens who suffered the most from this war, this important book gives a true picture from a non-western point of view—one that is rarely heard in mainstream media reporting. It makes one thing more than clear: The US’s ‘Saigon moment’ in Kabul in August 2021 was more than foreseeable.

Critics Review
“Emran Feroz describes the ‘War on Terror’ … from an Afghan perspective for the first time!”—-Der Freitag
“Feroz writes in such a gripping way that you can’t put the book down. With each scandal he explains, you hold your breath because you can hardly bear so much cruelty and indifference.”—-Deutschlandfunk Kultur
“Feroz’s book is not a sober appraisal, but an indictment.”—-Süddeutsche Zeitung
