Using first-hand accounts of the men and women who fought in Operation Enduring Freedom, this book presents an intensely personal history of the war in Afghanistan, revealing the determination, heroism, sacrifice, and strength of spirit that came to form the fabric of the conflict. Fromt he grand strategic view of high-level commanders, to the perspective through the soldier's gunsight, the truck driver's window, and the airman's cockpit, this is a fascinating and moving look at America's longest war." - Back cover. 650 0 Afghan War, 2001-2021 650 0 Afghan War, 2001-2021|vPersonal narratives, American. 650 0 Operation Enduring Freedom, 2001-
