Description: Directorate S by Steve Coll Estimated delivery 4-14 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description The international bestselling account of Americas grim involvement in the affairs of Afghanistan from 2001 to 2016In the wake of the terrible shock of 9/11, the C.I.A. scrambled to work out how to destroy Bin Laden and his associates. Superficially the invasion was quick and efficient, but Bin Ladens successful escape, together with that of much of the Taliban leadership, and a catastrophic failure to define the limits of NATOs mission in a tough, impoverished country the size of Texas, created a quagmire which has now lasted many years. At the heart of the problem lay Directorate S, a highly secretive arm of the Pakistan state which had its own views on the Taliban and Afghanistans place in a wider competition for influence between Pakistan, India and China, and which assumed that the U.S.A. and its allies would soon be leaving.Steve Colls remarkable new book tells a powerful, bitter story of just how badly foreign policy decisions can go wrong and of many lives lost. Author Biography Steve Coll is dean of the Graduate School of Journalism at Columbia University. His major books include Private Empire, The Bin Ladens and the Pulitzer Prize-winning Ghost Wars. He is a staff writer on The New Yorker.
