就在‘9·11’事件发生后的几天里,全美屏息凝神之际,一小群意志坚定的 CIA 特工已开始秘密改写历史。本书以扣人心弦的第一人称视角,记录了深入阿富汗境内执行的一项极为险峻的绝密任务,它为击溃塔利班和打响反恐战争奠定了基础。《First In》如同小说般跌宕起伏,以独家且近距离的视角审视了这项开启美国对恐怖主义反击、并为阿富汗人民夺回国家的历史性任务。选自精装版。

《雷斯特雷波》(Restrepo)本身也拍得相当棒。关于整场阿富汗战争,我最喜欢的作品绝对是《先锋军》(First In,http://www.amazon.com/First-Insiders-Account-Spearheaded-Afg...),整场战争本来就该这么打:一个 CIA 特工,几个 ODA(大约20名美军特种部队士兵),一架老旧的前苏联……
Restrepo is also pretty amazing in its own right. My absolute favorite work about the whole war in Afghanistan is First In (http://www.amazon.com/First-Insiders-Account-Spearheaded-Afg...) which is how the entire war should have been fought: A CIA man, a couple ODAs (~20 US Army Special Forces soldiers), an old ex-Soviet…
关于那部分战争的一份极佳记录是 Gary Schroen 写的《先锋军:CIA 如何打响阿富汗反恐战争内幕》(First In: An Insider's Account of How the CIA Spearheaded the War on Terror in Afghanistan)。他是第一支在阿富汗境内行动的 CIA 小组的负责人。读起来很带劲,只是并非……
A very good account of that part of the war is "First in: An Insider's Account of How the CIA Spearheaded the War on Terror in Afghanistan " by Schroen, Gary. He was the chief of the first CIA team to operate inside Afghanistan. A great read, just not what…
……自己的,而且水肺潜水(SCUBA)的培训模式其实是向消费者传授很多东西的好方法(一位刚学会潜水的 VC 朋友也这么认为)。要是纯粹论书本身,大概是 Gary Schroen 写的《先锋军:七名 CIA 官员如何打响阿富汗反恐战争》(First In: How Seven CIA Officers Opened the War on Terror in Afghanistan)。他们基本上就是带着三千万美元左右、一架老直升机和两个特种部队 ODA 杀进去,干成了后来所取得的大部分成果……
…own, and the training model for SCUBA is actually a good way to teach a lot of things to consumers (a VC friend who just picked up diving too believes this as well). For actual book as book, probably "First In; How Seven CIA Officers Opened the War on Terror in Afghanistan" by Gary Schroen. They basically went in with $30mm or so and an old helicopter, 2 SF ODAs, and accomplished most of the good accomplished…
……的花费,我们又硬拖了11年(很可能会至少拖到13年,甚至更久),基本上没再取得任何更多成果。CIA(由 Gary Schroen 带领,他在《先锋军》(First In)里记录了自己的任务 http://www.amazon.com/First-Insiders-Account-Spearheaded-Afg...)和两个 ODA,加上空中力量和一些地面控制人员,基本上已经实现了全世界所有的关键政策目标……
…of dollars, we continued on for another 11 years (and likely to be at least 13, and possibly more), accomplishing essentially nothing more. The CIA (led by Gary Schroen, who wrote about his mission in First In http://www.amazon.com/First-Insiders-Account-Spearheaded-Afg...) and 2 ODAs, combined with air power and some ground controllers, essentially accomplished all of the world's critical policy objectives…
……到2009年左右的阿富汗(2009这个结束年份值得商榷;我很难说现在的阿富汗整体上比2001年底 CIA / ODA 555 行动刚刚结束时更好,正如 Gary Schroen 在《先锋军》(First In)中所描述的那样)。我当时在伊拉克目睹了这一切,相比实际的伤亡数字,我对2003到2006年间美军的作战方式要批判得多。更理性一点的话,肯定宁愿……
…to ~2009 in Afghanistan (the 2009 end date is questionable; I'm reluctant to say Afghanistan overall is better right now than it was right after the CIA/ODA 555 operations in late 2001, as described in First In by Gary Schroen). I was in Iraq watching this and was a lot more critical of the way the US was fighting from 2003-2006 than of the actual casualty numbers. It's certainly more rational to be more willing…
