Following 2004's Pulitzer Prize-winning, New York Times best-selling Ghost Wars, which focused on America's involvement in Afghanistan prior to 9/11, this book concentrates on our efforts in Afghanistan to destroy the Taliban and Al Qaeda post-9/11. Even as we (sometimes) worked with I.S.I., Pakistan's intelligence agency, I.S.I. created the secret Directorate S to support the Taliban and thus further Pakistan's own influence.
