  The American War in Afghanistan: A History


    Carter Malkasian


      Abstract

The American War in Afghanistan is a full history of the war in
Afghanistan between 2001 and 2020. It covers political, cultural,
strategic, and tactical aspects of the war and details the actions and
decision-making of the United States, Afghan government, and Taliban.
The work follows a narrative format to go through the 2001 US invasion,
the state-building of 2002–2005, the Taliban offensive of 2006, the US
surge of 2009–2011, the subsequent drawdown, and the peace talks of
2019–2020. The focus is on the overarching questions of the war: Why did
the United States fail? What opportunities existed to reach a better
outcome? Why did the United States not withdraw from the war?
