A realistic and readable book about how our money is being spent. Good insight into Afghanistan culture and our military operations. Would strongly recommend it to those deploying.
The author relates his experience transforming the Afghanistan Army to the awkward Middle-Eastern sage who was riding his donkey backward so that he "could always see where he had been." The circumstances and stories of this book are interlaced with humor and innovation that brings the reader into the middle of the conundrum that is the US involvement in Afghanistan.
