Description
The Fall of Kabul: A Shocking Account of the Withdrawal from Afghanistan On 15 August 2021, the city of Kabul fell to the Taliban, marking a devastating end to two decades of conflict in Afghanistan. This book tells the inside story of those final days, revealing the shocking truth behind the collapse of the Islamic Republic and the chaotic evacuation that followed. The author offers a no-holds-barred account of the events leading up to the fall of Kabul, including the political intrigues among Afghan elites and the indifference of western politicians. The book also pays tribute to the quiet heroism of British soldiers and civilians who risked everything to evacuate over 15,000 vulnerable Afghans from the city in under two weeks. A harrowing and thought-provoking read, this account sheds light on the human cost of failure in Afghanistan, particularly for Afghan women and girls, as well as the families of those who lost their lives in the conflict.
