Summary:
"For readers of Sebastian Junger, Philip Gourevitch, and Dexter Filkins, Graeme Smith's brilliant book is a raw, uncensored account of the war in Afghanistan from a young reporter who for several years was the only Western journalist brave enough to live full-time in the perilous southern region. The Dogs Are Eating Them Now is a highly personal narrative of the West's war in Afghanistan and how it went dangerously wrong. Written by a fearless and respected former foreign correspondent who has won multiple awards for his journalism (including an Emmy for the video series Talking with the Taliban), this is a gripping account of modern warfare that delves into back alleys, cockpits, and prisons, telling stories that would have endangered the author's life had he published this book while still working as a journalist. From the corruption of law enforcement agents and the tribal nature of the local power structure to the economics of the drug trade and the frequent blunders of foreign troops, this is the no-holds-barred story from a leading expert on the insurgency. Smith draws on his unmatched compassion and a rare ability to cut through the noise and see the broader truths to give us a bold and candid look at the Taliban's continued influence--and at the mistakes, catastrophes, and ultimate failure of the West's best intentions. With the American retreat from Afghanistan in 2016 still a point of contention, there has never been a more urgent need for a comprehensive and intelligent look at the West's engagement in Afghanistan"--Provided by publisher.
