内容説明
Afghanistan is far from stable: Wounds left by thirty years of war are still raw. Terrorism is a daily menace. Roads are littered with Taliban bombs. Targeted killings and international impatience are fueling Afghan anxieties. Regional warlords, drug barons, and corrupt government officials all flout the conceit of a functional and unified nation. Pakistans aggressive influence is a real and constant presence. Yet Chris Alexander, former deputy head of the UN Assistance Mission to Afghanistan and former Canadian ambassador to Afghanistan, sees something different: a peace that is not only theoretically possible but practically achievable given the right conditions.
The Long Way Back tells the story of the historic accomplishments and bitter disappointments encountered on the road to political stability. But the book is much more than a firsthand account of recent events: it is a clear-eyed take on what has been achieved, the triumphs and failings of Afghans and foreigners alike, and why the country is still mired in conflict. With his direct access to and experience with the countrys leaders, the international players, and ordinary Afghan citizens, Chris Alexander reveals a portrait of Afghanistan like none other and makes an insightful and bold argument for what it will take to attain a lasting peace.

Seven Rooms of Truth

It is such an honor to be the first to review this book on this page. I am a colonel currently serving at ISAF in Afghanistan who routinely meets with Afghans, and I quickly devoured the book between missions and excursions. Ambassador Alexander has beautifully articulated much of what my colleagues and I have learned about Afghanistan over the past two years. In short, he has captured the truth of this war. This book is part play-by-play, part analysis and in many places, pure artfulness. I cannot give any book on Afghanistan a higher recommendation than this one. Well done, Ambassador. This book is exactly what the world needs in order to understand our shared struggle here. My whole team hopes to meet you some day.
