But The Long Way Back is much more than a first-hand account of recent events: it is a clear-eyed take on what has been achieved, the triumphs and failings of Af- ghans and foreigners alike, and why the country is still mired in conflict. Alexander guides us through the intricacies of the cross-border insurgency—showing that Pakistan continues the campaign begun under the British frontier policy and scaled up by the U.S. for jihad against the Soviets. With Alexander’s direct access to and experience with the country’s leaders, the international players and ordinary Afghan citizens, a portrait of Afghanistan is revealed like none other, and an argument is made for what it will take to achieve a lasting peace.
