As night fell on 15 August 2021, the Taliban entered Kabul, capital of Afghanistan. After a 20-year conflict with the United States, its Western allies and a proxy Afghan government, the Islamic militant group once aligned with al Qaeda was about to bury yet another foreign foe in the graveyard of empires. And for the US, the superpower, this was yet another foreign disaster. As cities and towns fell to the Taliban in rapid succession, Western troops and embassy staff scrambled to flee a country of which its government had lost control.

Revisado: 05-16-24
The author did his due diligence and provided an extremely accurate and factual account of what happened in Afghanistan in August 2021. There are a few inaccuracies, ie referring to Michael Yon as Marcus Yon, as well as some fundamental pronunciation errors, such as how the narrator mispronounces Kabul and Dari, along with some incorrect military references but all in all, it’s well worth the listen.
