It is the story of well-intentioned men and women going into a place they did not understand at all. And how what had once been the right thing to do had become a conflict that everyone wanted to exit. It has been a fiasco which has left Afghanistan still one of the poorest and most dangerous nations on earth.The leading journalist on the region with unparalleled access to all key decision makers Christina Lamb is the best-selling author of ‘The Africa House’ and ‘I Am Malala’ co-authored with Nobel Peace Prize winner Malala Yousafzai. This revelatory and personal account is her final analysis of the realities of Afghanistan told unlike anyone before.</p> William Collins hardcover
