Description

"Ghost Wars: The Secret History of the CIA, Afghanistan, and bin Laden" by Steve Coll is a meticulously researched narrative that delves deep into the covert operations and geopolitical maneuvering surrounding Afghanistan from the Soviet invasion in 1979 to the aftermath of September 11, 2001. Steve Coll, a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, meticulously pieces together a comprehensive account that unravels the clandestine actions of the CIA, the intricate alliances forged with Afghan mujahideen factions, and the unintended consequences that shaped global politics for decades.

Coll vividly paints a landscape where Cold War tensions intersect with Afghan tribal dynamics and the rise of Islamist extremism. Through extensive interviews and archival research, he brings to light the often obscured machinations of intelligence agencies and policymakers, revealing how decisions made in the shadows reverberated across continents. From the support of Afghan resistance fighters against Soviet forces to the subsequent chaos and power struggles post-Soviet withdrawal, "Ghost Wars" uncovers the complex web of interests that contributed to the region's instability.
