The Long Way Back: Afghanistan's Quest for Peace

Christopher Alexander, Canadian€s former ambassador to Afghanistan, offers an inside look at Afghanistan recent history, and delivers a blueprint for transforming the troubled country into a viable nation. Alexander draws on expertise gained over five years on the ground in Afghanistan, chronicling the country€s initial successes following the Afghan War, the setbacks it incurred thanks to a resurgent Taliban, and the tenuous stability that multilateral diplomacy has brought the war-torn yet rebuilding nation. Readers of Ahmed Rashid€s Descent into Chaos and Alex Berenson€s Lost in Kandahar will find no more penetrating insight into Afghanistan€s past, present, and future than Christopher Alexander€s probing, expert dissection of a nation at war with itself: The Long Way Back.
