MEDIA REVIEWS

'Greg Mills tells you all you need to know about Afghanistan, the modern military and rescuing failed states, but were afraid to ask.' Martin Edmonds, Centre for Defence and International Security Studies, UK 'Do the Afghans really want peace? Does the international community really know what it is doing in Afghanistan? Perhaps both questions are being asked too late, but if there is still a chance of success then read Mills to find out why both parties urgently need to read his book.' Christopher Coker, London School of Economics, author of 'The Future of War' 'Greg Mills has tapped into a remarkable array of sources, from command briefings to some of the most outspoken niches of Afghan society. He writes bluntly and eschews the silken phrase, but his analysis penetrates deeply. His 'Ten counter-insurgency commandments' demand that we all think afresh.' Admiral Richard Cobbold, Director, RUSI, UK
