Scott Horton brings clarity to the most pressing issue of our time, endless war.
The book is well researched. It is well (densely, meticulously) foot-noted and documented. The author is clear and cogent in making the case that it is time to end the wars in Afghanistan. He brings us up to speed on how we got here and why we must change course. The US is over-extended fighting for both sides in conflict after conflict. We are actively creating future problems and blowback by misguided and immoral foreign policy actions today.
Why does this book matter?
We, the people, must wake up and come to understand the the role that our own government's actions have played in setting the world on fire. We can't continue to shoulder shrug, and allow this to continue for another year, another decade, the rest of the century. That is where we are headed if we don't all come together to demand that our government allow us and the rest of the world to live in peace. We owe this not only to ourselves and the world's citizen's, but to our children and grandchildren.
We simply cannot continue to shoulder-shrug, plod along with our "real life" day to day existences wholly oblivious or purposely ignorant of the murder & destruction of hundreds of thousands of others' real lives wrought by our government in our names.
