More DescriptionWar Comes to Garmser offers a fresh, original perspective on the war in Afghanistan, one that will redefine how we look at Afghanistan and at modern war in general. The author, who spent nearly two years in Garmser, a community in war-torn Helmand province, tells the story of this one small place through the jihad, the rise and fall of Taliban regimes, and American and British surge. Based on his conversations with hundreds of Afghans, including government officials, tribal leaders, religious leaders, and over forty Taliban, and drawing on extensive primary source material, Malkasian takes readers into the world of the Afghans.
