Description
Summary:
"Tens of thousands of fresh American troops are now on the move in Afghanistan, led by a new commander and armed with a counter-insurgency plan that builds on the lessons of Iraq. But can U.S. forces succeed in a land long known as the "graveyard of empires?" FRONTLINE once again makes the dangerous journey to the frontlines of America's biggest fight. Through interviews with the top U.S. commanders on the ground, embeds with U.S. forces, and a fresh reporting from Washington, Obama's War examines U.S. counter-insurgency strategy in Afghanistana and Pakistan--a fight that promises to be longer and more costly than most AMericans understand"--Container.
