If you ever wondered what you would do if someone called you and asked if you 'would like to change the destiny of a nation' then reading this journal is for you. I was 58 years old when I received just this call. I decided to write and maintain a daily journal to capture all the emotions of deploying to a nation at war where I was tasked with developing the Afghanistan Ministry of Interior officials in budget development and execution for the nation's police force. The journal entries begin in June 2011 and end October 2014. Due to the sheer volume of the entries they are being presented in several volumes. You will be bored with some, laugh with some, say 'You can't make this shit up' with some, terrified by the close proximity of bombs and gunfire with some and even a death threat. War is not always action. Building the financial infrastructure to pay for the operations of the entire national police force isn't necessarily 'sexy' or 'intriguing'. But I think you will agree that this was an adventure worth taking. You will get an idea of how the Billions of our tax dollars were used to train, equip and pay for the operations of the Afghanistan National Police Force. You will get an idea of what it is like for a woman to interact with the Afghan Ministry personnel in a society and culture where women are not recognized. I was primarily assigned to work with the Ministry of Interior Finance and Budget office but our interactions with the Ministry of Finance were crucial to achieving our goals.

The coldest I have ever been in my life was in the mountains of Afghanistan. I was in a helicopter with the windows and doors open. It was dark, the middle of winter, and I wasn't wearing a jacket. But up there, something became clear to me: America is fighting its wars all wrong.... Thus starts Joshua Foust's riveting and thoughtful account of the U.S. military's engagement in Afghanistan in 2009 and 2010. In early 2009, Foust, a long-time analyst of Central Asian affairs and a respected blogger, got his first chance to go to the country he had been fascinated with for so long. He brought to the trip-- and to this book-- not just a wealth of knowledge about the country, but also an intelligence and sensitivity that informed all his writings during and after the trip.

The blow to British pride and confidence caused by the crushing defeat of their army in Afghanistan during the winter of 1841/2 compares in its impact to the disaster in New York on 11 September 2001. The British had replaced a popular and effective monarch with a weak one in the mistaken belief that he would keep the Russians at bay. Two years later, nearly all the British and Indian soldiers in the region were killed in a popular uprising.Margaret Kekewichs perceptive new study of the conflict describes the British defeat, their reoccupation of Afghanistan in the spring of 1842, then their final withdrawal at the end of the year. Her account, which is based on the graphic diaries written by two British eyewitnesses, gives a fascinating insight into the conflict in Afghanistan 150 years ago.The story is told by, first, Lady Sale who together with over 100 women, children and soldiers was captured and imprisoned by the Afghans. The second account comes from the Reverend Allen, a young chaplain to the army that invaded Afghanistan in April 1842 to avenge British humiliation and rescue the prisoners. Both these eyewitnesses deplored the follies that had led to war and defeat and also the suffering that was inflicted on many innocent Afghans.At a time when British forces are deeply engaged in another war in Afghanistan, Margaret Kekewich offers a balanced and thought-provoking new perspective on a previous conflict in the region.

During the First Anglo-Afghan War, Lady Florentia Sale, wife of a British army officer, Sir Robert Henry Sale, was kidnapped in 1842, along with other women and children, as well as soldiers, and detained for nine months. The group were taken hostage by Akbar Khan, following the massacre in the Khurd Karbul Pass. Amongst the hostages with Lady Sale was her youngest daughter Alexandrina, Alexandrina’s husband Lt. John Sturt, and their newborn daughter. Sturt was fatally injured by three dagger wounds to the abdomen, with Lady Sale nursed her son-in-law in his final hours. She bribed the Afghan officers into releasing them, and they were rescued by Sir Richmond Shakespear on 17 September 1842. Her courageous and defiant actions meant that she endangered herself frequently; she was shot in the wrist, with the bullet lodging there. Throughout her time as a captive, Lady Sale kept a diary, detailing the events of the ordeal. A year later, Lady Sale published her journal as A Journal of the Disasters in Afghanistan, 1841-2, which documented her experiences throughout the Afghan War, and the book received critical acclaim. An action-filled story of folly, indecision, treachery and tragedy, all the while testifying to great courage and fortitude.
