Where to start with this one? How about the short story: Michael Hastings, a Rolling Stones reporter is invited to tag along with General Stanley McChrystal and his staff soon after he takes command of the war in Afghanistan. After his story comes out, Stanley McChrystal is summoned to Washington D.C. and fired by the president.
The longer story is everything in detail and is a very good read. If you want to know more about Afghanistan, the war, the military, or foreign policy, this is a good book for you. I would recommend it as a set with Charlie Wilson's War to anyone interested in Afghanistan. Too bad we ended up in this mess which has taken on a much more personal feel now that one of our library employees is being deployed to Afghanistan in the coming weeks.
