The Taliban surrender -- The people turn -- Pakistan's proteges -- The Taliban in exile -- Al Qaeda regroups -- The wrong enemy in the wrong country -- The Taliban returns -- The suicide bomb factory -- Militancy explodes in Pakistan -- The Taliban closes their grip -- Karzai's turn -- Obama's surge -- Osama's safe haven -- Springtime in Zangabad.
In this sweeping account of a war brought by well-intentioned American leaders against an enemy they barely understood, and could not truly engage, Gall argues that Pakistan fueled the Taliban and protected Osama bin Laden for the entire duration of the American invasion and occupation.
