    Content: War in Afghanistan will never be understood without getting to grips with the small places--the provinces, districts, and villages--where most of the fighting occurred. It is in those places that we can truly find answers to the question that lay at the heart of the war: Why did people support the Taliban? Did intervention bring peace? Was a better outcome ever possible? Garmser is a small place that has seen much violence, and its 150,000 people inhabit a fertile yet narrow strip along the Helmand River. Carter Malkasian served in Garmser district as a political officer for the US State Department, and in War Comes to Garmser, he tells the history of thirty years of war, from 1979 to 2012. He explains the origins of the Taliban, which was defeated in 2001 but returned, stronger than ever, in 2006, and tells how Afghans, British, and Americans fought against them afterward. Above all, he describes the lives of Afghans who endured and tried to build some kind of order out of war. While Americans and British came and went, they carried on, year after year, inhabitants of a small place. -- Back cover

    Content: 'The American War in Afghanistan' is a full history of the war in Afghanistan between 2001 and 2020. It covers political, cultural, strategic, and tactical aspects of the war and details the actions and decision-making of the United States, Afghan government, and Taliban. The work follows a narrative format to go through the 2001 US invasion, the state-building of 2002-2005, the Taliban offensive of 2006, the US surge of 2009-2011, the subsequent drawdown, and the peace talks of 2019-2020. The focus is on the overarching questions of the war: Why did the United States fail? What opportunities existed to reach a better outcome? Why did the United States not withdraw from the war?

    Content: Throughout history armies of occupation and civil power have been faced with the challenges of insurgency. British and American involvement in Iraq and Afghanistan has highlighted this form of conflict in the modern world. Armies have had to adopt new doctrines and tactics to deal with the problems of insurgency and diverse counterinsurgency strategies have been developed. Here, fourteen authors examine the development of counterinsurgency from the early 20th century to the present. Including information on the Arab-Israeli conflict, Afghanistan and Iraq this book is a timely and accessible survey of a critical facet of modern warfare. This new paperback edition features a revised introduction, updated chapters on Iraq and Afghanistan and a completely new chapter on Columbia by expert Thomas Marks

    Content: "The Korean War was a significant turning point in the Cold War. This book explains how the conflict in a small peninsula in East Asia had a tremendous impact on the entire international system and the balance of power between the two superpowers, America and Russia. Through the conflict, the West demonstrated its resolve to thwart Communist aggression and the armed forces of China, the Soviet Union and the United States came into direct combat for the only time during the Cold War."--Bloomsbury Publishing
