Journalist Edward Girardet covers 30 years of war in Afghanistan

His new book, Killing the Cranes, provides crucial insights into why the West’s current involvement has turned into such a disaster. Using historical examples from the past 30 years, he explains why we are squandering billions of dollars on a recovery process that has shown scant success while creating new insurgency efforts.
