The fall of Afghanistan triggered a seismic shock in the West, where US President Joe Biden announced an end to America's involvement in conflicts overseas.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e In Afghanistan itself it produced terror for the future for those who had worked with and grown up under the coalition-supported administration. Now, with the country spiralling into economic collapse and famine, Losing Afghanistan is a plea for us to keep our gaze on the plight of the people of Afghanistan and to understand how action and inaction in the West shaped the fate of the nation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Why was Afghanistan lost? Can it be regained? And what happens next? Edited by international development expert Brian Brivati, this collection of twenty-one essays by analysts, politicians, soldiers, commentators and practitioners - interspersed with powerful eyewitness testimony from Afghan voices - explains what happened in Afghanistan and why, and what the future holds both for its people and for liberal intervention.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Brian Brivati\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 178590731X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781785907319\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Biteback Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/20\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 368\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.10w x 1.30d","brand":"Brian Brivati","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44052775469311,"sku":"9781785907319","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_444cd432-8536-4d38-8312-c15631d2b1f6.jpg?v=1685020683","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/losing-afganistan-brian-brivati-9781785907319","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
