Download Afghanistan: A Military History from Alexander the Great to the Fall of the Taliban AudioBook Free
For over 2,500 years, the forbidding territory of Afghanistan has served as a essential crossroads for armies and has witnessed history-shaping clashes between civilizations: Greek, Arab, Mongol, and Tartar, and, in newer times, British, Russian, and American. When U.S. troops entered Afghanistan in the weeks following September 11, 2001, they overthrew the Afghan Taliban regime and sent the terrorists it harbored on the run. But America's initial easy victory is sharp contrast to the difficulties it faces today in confronting the Taliban resurgence.
Originally published in 2002, Stephen Tanner's Afghanistan has been completely updated to include the key turn of events since America first entered the country.
