| 520 | _aThe main theme of this book is that America's wars in Iraq and Afghanistan have been costly financial and political failures. Furthermore in not recognising the need to support nation building the USA has inadvertently provided fuel for the rise of Islamic extremism and terrorism which may yet explode across Central Asia including nuclear armed Pakistan. The book covers Afghan warlords, drug production, conflicting American and British policies, Pakistan, the Taliban, and Uzbekistan. | ||
