Unlike the wars in Vietnam and Iraq, the US invasion of Afghanistan in 2001 had near-unanimous public support. At first, the goals were straightforward and clear: Defeat al-Qaeda and prevent a repeat of 9/11. Yet soon after the United States and its allies removed the Taliban from power, the mission veered off-course and US officials lost sight of their original objectives.

A great expose on bad decisions
Revisado: 10-29-21
When will this country learn……to do the right thing and not waste money and resources. This book exposed just how stupid some people in government are and the hubris of others. Nation build is not something the United States is good at when they don’t understand the nation they are trying to help. So much tragedy has ruined countless people's lives in both the United States and Afghanistan. A war that go us nothing, that ruined and destroyed so much.

As the nation recovers from the Trump presidency, many questions remain: Why was the COVID-19 pandemic so grossly mishandled? How did we get so politically polarized? What caused White nationalist groups to come out of the shadows, and are they here to stay? The answers lie the twisted story of the relationship between Donald Trump and Fox News. Through firsthand accounts from over 250 current and former Fox insiders, CNN anchor and chief media correspondent Brian Stelter unlocks the inner workings of Rupert Murdoch’s multibillion-dollar media empire.

A really good book with information laid out nicely
Revisado: 09-02-20
This book tells the story of the Fox News manipulation to this country in great detail. The author has done his research and provides facts that show the events as they happened. I enjoyed this book because it cuts to the root of why this happened. Money is the root of the rot of democracy. Trump supporters will not like this book as they won’t believe any of it

Dr. Richard Carrier, world-renowned philosopher and historian, explains the four reasons he does not accept the Christian religion, describing four facts of the world that, had they been different, he would believe. Those four reasons are God's silence, God's inaction, the lack of evidence, and the way the universe looks exactly like a godless universe would, and not at all like a Christian universe would, even down to its very structure. Dr. Carrier addresses all the usual replies to these claims.

Written with bracing wit and intelligence, Rachel Maddow's Drift argues that we've drifted away from America's original ideals and become a nation weirdly at peace with perpetual war, with all the financial and human costs that entails. To understand how we've arrived at such a dangerous place, Maddow takes us from the Vietnam War to today's war in Afghanistan.
