This book argues that despite huge and impressive military capabilities the U.S. forces in Afghanistan actually waged conventional warfare and are now losing ground to opponents that are genuinely unconventional. Presents some suggestions on what the U.S. could do to regain the advantage. Author is former US Special Forces officer.
