Review:
"As always, West's greatest strengths are his exceptional personal courage and his experienced perception of combat. He anchors a narrative of failed policy in a set of battlefield stories that explains events with unusual clarity."--The Washington Post
"West offers vivid accounts of the war from ground level and an unsparing analysis of the chances for U.S. success."--Los Angeles Times
About the Author:
"Should be read by anyone who wants to understand why the war [in Afghanistan] is so hard."--Dexter Filkins, The New York Times Book Review
"One of the best books yet written on the war in Afghanistan . . . filled with both vivid descriptions of the Afghan fighting and sound advice concerning how counterinsurgencies should be waged."--The Wall Street Journal "Should be must reading for President Obama--and for you. . . . Most of us really don't give Afghanistan much thought. . . . Most of us don't get it. If you read The Wrong War you will."--USA Today"As always, West's greatest strengths are his exceptional personal courage and his experienced perception of combat. He anchors a narrative of failed policy in a set of battlefield stories that explains events with unusual clarity."--The Washington Post
"West offers vivid accounts of the war from ground level and an unsparing analysis of the chances for U.S. success."--Los Angeles Times
