Description
The evacuation of Kabul in August 2021 was one of the most unexpected events in modern military history. A coalition of forces withdrew from Afghanistan after twenty years of conflict, leaving thousands of Afghans who had worked with them at the mercy of the Taliban. As the situation spiralled out of control, a small international task force set out on a daring mission to evacuate as many Afghans and their families as possible. Drawing on first-hand accounts from those involved in Operation Pitting and the Kabul airlift, Escape from Kabul is a harrowing true story of one of the most complex and challenging evacuations in recent history. The book sheds light on the planning, execution, and aftermath of this pivotal event, revealing the bravery and resilience of those who were part of it. Through the stories of politicians, soldiers, former interpreters, and Afghan Special Forces personnel, Escape from Kabul provides a gripping and thought-provoking account of one of the most significant moments of our time.
