A Bitter Harvest: US Foreign Policy and Afghanistan de Tom Lansford

A Bitter Harvest: US Foreign Policy and Afghanistan: US Foreign Policy and Conflict in the Islamic World

Autor Tom Lansford
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 15 sep 2003
The 2001 terrorist attacks on the United States formed part of the larger legacy of American interaction in Afghanistan. From the end of World War II onward, American foreign policy had a significant impact on the conflicts that marked the twentieth century history of this troubled land. The role of the United States was magnified by the violence of the ongoing internal ethnic struggles and the external machinations of the superpower Cold War rivalry. In line with the aims of the series, this valuable new book: · presents a historical overview of the causes and legacy of Afghanistan's internal conflict · explores the role and influence of the actors involved, including the various ethnic and religious groups and external powers such as the United States and the Soviet Union · provides the framework for a broader exploration of US policy toward Afghanistan A Bitter Harvest concludes with an assessment of US policy and policy recommendations.

Recenzii

’Lansford’s important and timely book provides the historical context necessary to understand Afghanistan’s complex problems and potential...Policy makers and concerned citizens alike would do well to read Lansford’s trenchant account of US foreign policy toward Afghanistan, past and present.’ Assistant Professor Douglas M. Brattebo, US Naval Academy, USA ’Tom Lansford provides the first in-depth, historical account of US policy in Afghanistan from the Truman era through the current occupant of the White House...This ambitious study is highly recommended for use by undergraduates and graduate students and will serve as an important guide for current policymakers of the 'always uncertain politics' of Afghanistan.’ John Davis, Howard University, USA 'As a source of information and references this book is systematic and credible.' New Zealand International Review 'This book is much more than a mere discussion of US foreign policy towards Afghanistan...It is a useful guide to those who want to gain a general knowledge of the country, or who want to understand the present American presence within a historical context...Tom Lansford should be commended for his attempt to cover an enormously large amount of information...while presenting a well-structured and highlyg readable book.' Millennium
