Specificatii
The U.S.-led intervention in Afghanistan mobilized troops, funds,
and people on an international level not seen since World War II.
Hundreds of thousands of individuals and tens of billions of
dollars flowed into the country. But what was gained for
Afghanistan--or for the international community that footed the
bill? Why did development money not lead to more development? Why
did a military presence make things more dangerous? Through the
stories of four individuals--an ambassador, a Navy SEAL, a young
Afghan businessman, and a wind energy engineer--Noah Coburn weaves
a vivid account of the challenges and contradictions of life during
the intervention. Looking particularly at the communities around
Bagram Airbase, this ethnography considers how Afghans viewed and
attempted to use the intervention and how those at the base tried
to understand the communities around them. These compelling stories
step outside the tired paradigms of 'unruly' Afghan tribes, an
effective Taliban resistance, and a corrupt Karzai government to
show how the intervention became an entity unto itself, one doomed
to collapse under the weight of its own bureaucracy and
contradictory intentions.
