Book excerpt: Given the lives lost and time and money spent in Afghanistan every American should read this book. It is well told, and well worth telling. In this book, the author chronicles almost a decade of his experience there -- watching the progress and the missteps. During his time as a U.S. Army Civil Affairs officer, trying to win hearts and minds on the ground. Then shedding the uniform as a civilian counternarcotics advisor, fighting against narcotics in the world's largest opium- and heroin-producing country. And finally as a manager for U.S.-funded humanitarian aid projects, working to help build economic prosperity in one of the world's most impoverished countries. See Afghanistan and its people through the successes and failures that the author had experienced throughout his journey, and you may find a better appreciation of how dangerous and challenging the experiment in Afghanistan has been.
