… if you want the most comprehensive account of what happened in the early days after 9/11. It’s one of the best books I’ve read about that critical moment in history.

The breadth and depth of Harnden’s meticulous research and the contribution of so many first hand participants combines with a page-turning narrative for a great reader experience ! I finished the book in awe of the individuals and their extraordinary accomplishments, as well as much better informed about the US journey in Afghanistan and the complexity of the country and its people.
