A devastating, well-honed prosecution detailing how our government bungled the initial salvo in the so-called war on terror, ignored attempts by top Taliban leaders to surrender, trusted the wrong people, and backed a feckless and corrupt Afghan regime . . . It is ultimately the most compelling account I've read of how Afghans themselves see the war.\" --The New York Times Book Review\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn a breathtaking chronicle, acclaimed journalist Anand Gopal traces the lives of three Afghans caught in America's war on terror. He follows a Taliban commander, who rises from scrawny teenager to leading insurgent; a U.S.-backed warlord, who uses the American military to gain wealth and power; and a village housewife trapped between the two sides, who discovers the devastating cost of neutrality. Through their dramatic stories emerges a stunning tale of how the United States had triumph in sight in Afghanistan―and then brought the Taliban back from the dead.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Read Room","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":59453764337950,"sku":null,"price":350.0,"currency_code":"BDT","in_stock":true},{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":59453764370718,"sku":null,"price":480.0,"currency_code":"BDT","in_stock":true},{"title":"Ebook","offer_id":59453796647198,"sku":null,"price":150.0,"currency_code":"BDT","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1076\/7515\/6766\/files\/rn-image_picker_lib_temp_bcd6b7b7-0e69-44d7-b4cf-e2abebea97c3.webp?v=1781287181","url":"https:\/\/readroombd.com\/products\/no-good-men-among-the-living-america-the-taliban-and-the-war-through-afghan-eyes-book-by-anand-gopal","provider":"Read Room","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
