Description

 							
  
  
  
  From the
managing editor of the Washington Post, a news-breaking account of the CIA's involvement in the covert wars in
Afghanistan that fueled Islamic militancy and gave rise to bin Laden's al Qaeda.
  
  For nearly the past
quarter century, while most Americans were unaware, Afghanistan has been the playing field for intense covert operations
by U.S. and foreign intelligence agencies-invisible wars which sowed the seeds of the September 11 attacks and which
provide its context. From the Soviet invasion in 1979 through the summer of 2001, the CIA, KGB, Pakistan's ISI, and
Saudi Arabia's General Intelligence Department all operated directly and secretly in Afghanistan. They primed Afghan
factions with cash and weapons, secretly trained guerrilla forces, funded propaganda, and manipulated politics. In the
midst of these struggles bin Laden conceived and then built his global organization.
  
  Comprehensively and
for the first time, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Steve Coll tells the secret history of the CIA's role in
Afghanistan, from its covert program against Soviet troops from 1979 to 1989, to the rise of the Taliban and the
emergence of bin Laden, to the secret efforts by CIA officers and their agents to capture or kill bin Laden in
Afghanistan after 1998. Based on extensive firsthand accounts, Ghost Warsok is the inside story that goes well beyond
anything previously published on U.S. involvement in Afghanistan. It chronicles the roles of midlevel CIA officers,
their Afghan allies, and top spy masters such as Bill Casey, Saudi Arabia's Prince Turki al Faisal, and George Tenet.
And it describes heated debates within the American government and the often poisonous, mistrustful relations between
the CIA and foreign intelligence agencies.
  
  Ghost Wars answers the questions so many have asked since the
horrors of September 11: To what extent did America's best intelligence analysts grasp the rising threat of Islamist
radicalism? Who tried to stop bin Laden and why did they fail?

Review
  Steve Coll's Ghost Wars: The Secret History of the CIA, Afghanistan, and Bin Laden, from the Soviet
Invasion to September 10, 2001 offers revealing details of the CIA's involvement in the evolution of the Taliban and Al
Qaeda in the years before the September 11 attacks. From the beginning, Coll shows how the CIA's on-again, off-again
engagement with Afghanistan after the end of the Soviet war left officials at Langley with inadequate resources and
intelligence to appreciate the emerging power of the Taliban. He also demonstrates how Afghanistan became a deadly
playing field for international politics where Soviet, Pakistani, and U.S. agents armed and trained a succession of
warring factions. At the same time, the book, though opinionated, is not solely a critique of the agency. Coll balances
accounts of CIA failures with the success stories, like the capture of Mir Amal Kasi. Coll, managing editor for the
Washington Post, covered Afghanistan from 1989 to 1992. He demonstrates unprecedented access to records of White House
meetings and to formerly classified material, and his command of Saudi, Pakistani, and Afghani politics is impressive.
He also provides a seeming insider's perspective on personalities like George Tenet, William Casey, and anti-terrorism
czar, Richard Clarke ("who seemed to wield enormous power precisely because hardly anyone knew who he was or what
exactly he did for a living"). Coll manages to weave his research into a narrative that sometimes has the feel of a Tom
Clancy novel yet never crosses into excess. While comprehensive, Coll's book may be hard going for those looking for a
direct account of the events leading to the 9-11 attacks. The CIA's 1998 engagement with bin Laden as a target for
capture begins a full two-thirds of the way into Ghost Wars, only after a lengthy march through developments during the
Carter, Reagan, and early Clinton Presidencies. But this is not a critique of Coll's efforts; just a warning that some
stamina is required to keep up. Ghost Wars is a complex study of intelligence operations and an invaluable resource for
those seeking a nuanced understanding of how a small band of extremists rose to inflict incalculable damage on American
soil. --Patrick O'Kelley
  Review
  Ghost Wars...is a welcome antidote to the fevered partisan
bickering that accompanied the release of Clarke's book. -- New York Times Book Review
