Afghanistan: The Lion's Last Roar? |
Summary |
When the British Army arrived in Helmand in Afghanistan, they were confident that they could keep the peace, defeat the Taliban and rebuild the impoverished province. But misplaced hope and confused aims quickly led to the very real threat of a catastrophic defeat. After 14 years of brutal, bloody and bruising conflict, the British Army finally began to withdraw from Afghanistan in late 2014. Featuring contributions from senior members on both sides - British, American, Afghan and Taliban - and combining substantial analysis and in-depth story telling, this series looks at the nature of conflict in the area, and asks what has been achieved and what legacy is left behind |
