Description
The evacuation of Kabul in August 2021 was one of the most unexpected events in modern military history. A coalition of troops withdrew from Afghanistan after twenty years of campaigning, leaving thousands of Afghans who had worked with the allies to the mercy of the Taliban.
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 the operation, including politicians, officers, young soldiers, former interpreters, and Afghan Special Forces soldiers, Escape from Kabul tells the harrowing true story of Operation Pitting and the Kabul airlift.
This account is a significant contribution to the historical record, told with clarity and precision. It provides a compelling insight into one of the most seismic events in recent years, and is highly recommended for military historians and those interested in contemporary international relations.
