From the rear cover

Praise for In the Graveyard of Empires "Seth Jones . . . has an anthropologist's feel for a foreign society, a historian's intuition for long-term trends, and a novelist's eye for the telling details that illuminate a much larger story. If you read just one book about the Taliban, terrorism, and the United States, this is the place to start."-Jeremi Suri, author of Henry Kissinger and the American Century "A timely and important work, without peer in terms of both its scholarship and the author's intimate knowledge of the country, the insurgency threatening it, and the challenges in defeating it."-Bruce Hoffman, Georgetown University, author of Inside Terrorism "A deeply researched and well-analyzed account of the failures of American policies in Afghanistan, In the Graveyard of Empires will be mandatory reading for policymakers from Washington to Kabul."-Peter Bergen, author of Holy War, Inc. and The Osama bin Laden I Know "Seth Jones has combined forceful narrative with careful analysis, illustrating the causes of this deteriorating situation, and recommending sensible, feasible steps to reverse the escalating violence."-James Dobbins, author of After the Taliban: Nation Building in Afghanistan
