本书是对美国在阿富汗经历的权威记录，涵盖了从塔利班崛起直至叛乱深重时期的全程。2001年塔利班迅速溃败后，面对日益加剧的暴力活动，美国的乐观情绪逐渐瓦解；一场新的“千刀万剐式战争”如今已使该国陷入瘫痪。In the Graveyard of Empires是一部关于2001年至2009年“反恐时代”阿富汗的政治史，深入剖析了自越战以来美国历时最长战争的根本悲剧。在简要回顾阿富汗历史上的各大帝国——亚历山大远征之后

……第一本书里讲了 9/11 之前来来去去的各种动向，第二本则是 9/11 之后的。《陷入混乱：美国与巴基斯坦、阿富汗和中亚建国失败》（Descent into Chaos）和《在帝国的坟场：美国在阿富汗的战争》（In the Graveyard of Empires）也都是关于阿富汗的绝佳读物。虽然不那么切题，但同样优秀的还有《利刃之道：CIA、秘密军队与天涯海角的战争》（The Way of the Knife），讲的是……

…really very badly damaged by the 2008 bust. That means we can pay down the wars without learning that we're on track to get dragged down by a bloated security state. Heck, we managed to spend ten years in the Graveyard of Empires and all we learned were some cheesy anecdotes in a fraudulent book about tea drinking. And that generals shouldn't date their hagiographers.
