商品簡介
Dobbins was appointed by George W. Bush as the first Special Envoy for Afghanistan in November 2001 in the wake of the fall of the Taliban and was placed in charge of the State Department's reconstruction efforts in Afghanistan through April of 2002. In this memoir he recounts his experiences in that capacity. He is deeply critical of the administration, faulting it for not committing enough resources, for allowing the Department of Defense to much control over traditional State Department responsibilities, for not working for international support, for failing to provide enough reconstruction aid, for getting distracted by Iraq, and for failing to adequately project government services and security out into the countryside.
