Named a Best Book of the Year by The New Yorker "A book that is as deeply humane and profoundly rendered as any I've read about Afghanistan or any other war." --Elliot Ackerman New York Times Book Review From one of the great foreign correspondents of our time author of some of the most essential reporting from Afghanistan from before 9/11 to the return of the Taliban to power in 2021 the first full accounting of that entire era combining previously published dispatches and new reporting into a single epic tapestry Jon Lee Anderson first reported from Afghanistan in the late 1980s covering the US-backed mujahideen's insurrection against the Soviet-backed regime in Kabul. Within days of the 9/11 attacks he was again on the ground as an early eyewitness to the new war launched by the US against the Taliban and their Al Qaeda allies. His reportage from the first year of the war won a number of awards and was published in book form as The Lion's Grave: Dispatches from Afghanistan. At the time the American military had prevailed on the battlefield and the newfound peace seemed to offer a precious space for Afghan society to restore itself and to forge a democratic future. But all was not well: Osama bin Laden was still in hiding the Taliban were stealthily reorganizing for a comeback and the United States was about to turn its attention to Iraq. To Lose a War collects Anderson's writing from Afghanistan over a near-quarter-century span. Containing the stories from The Lion's Grave and all of those he published since as well as important writing appearing here for the first time the book offers a chronological account of a monumental tragedy as it unfolds. The colossal waste missed signals and wishful thinking that characterized the twenty-year arc of the US-led war in Afghanistan have consecrated it as one of the greatest foreign policy failures of the modern era and a bellwether of a larger American imperial decline.
