Title: Extradordinary
Product review: This book is extraordinary because, when read in 2010, it presages a decade of war, explaining precisely why defeating the Taliban has not been possible. Kaplan is a brave and highly insightful journalist; he should be serving our nation as an assistant secretary of state or defense. His ability to describe the interrelationships among human nature, culture and the politics that result in armed conflict is unique. Ten years after its second release, Solders of God is still fresh and applicable. It is must-reading for anyone seeking to understand why the war in Afghanistan is so maddening in its duration and complexities. Bing West, Newport, RI
