The Afghanistan Papers is a shocking and ground investigative account of how three successive presidents and their military commanders deceived the American populace about the war in Afghanistan. The US invasion of Afghanistan in 2001 had massive public support, and the were straightforward and clear: to defeat al-Qaeda and prevent a repeat of 9/11. But soon after the United States and its allies removed the Taliban from power, the mission veered off course and US officials lost sight of their original objectives. This book summarizes the account that will supercharge a long overdue reckoning over what went wrong and forever change the way the conflict is remembered, with America deserting Afghanistan, the President Ashraf Ghani absconding and the Taliban taking over the country. This summary presents a general overview, critical analysis and takeaways of how it all started, how Afghanistan got to its current state, the politics and deceptions involved, and the future of the country with the Taliban in power.
