Nick Turse brings together a range of leading commentators, politicians, and military strategists to analyze America's real motives and likely prospects. Through on-the-spot reporting, clear-headed analysis and historical comparisons with Afghanistan's previous occupiers--Britain and the Soviet Union, who also argued that they were fighting a just and winnable war--\u003ci\u003eThe Case for Withdrawal From Afghanistan\u003c\/i\u003e carefully examines the current US strategy and offers sobering conclusions.
