Whose Army? Afghanistan's Future and the Blueprint for Civil War

The Afghan National Army is shrinking by the day, and this book explores the implications as the West prepares to leave the country to its own devices.Having broken the system that was in place, the US and NATO are now leaving Afghanistan to face Taliban elements, criminal warlords, and private militias which disrupt any efforts to pull the nation together. A top international journalist shares his analysis of this data along with the vital observations of professionals operating in the field, and the remarks of many reporters and commentators. The author then assesses the likelihood of civil war.
