商品簡介
Maloney (history, Royal Military College of Canada) has observed counterinsurgency field operations in Afghanistan since 2003. Here, he offers in inside look at units unknown to most Americans--the provincial reconstruction teams, the embedded training teams, and the strategic advisory teams of Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF) and the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF)--that helped the Afghan people establish a new government. Working with Afghans at all levels of society and at great personal risk, these international teams, the author argues, helped stave off a civil war among the victorious anti-Taliban Afghan groups. B&w photos are included. This is the second book in a trilogy dealing with the author's experiences in Afghanistan. The author is the historical advisor to the Canadian Army's Chief of the Land Staff. Annotation c2009 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
