| Synopsis: |
The U.S. involvement in Iraq and Afghanistan is hard to ignore. Yet, not everyone knows the background of the conflicts - how they started, why they started, and what the area is really like. Mark Grossman, noted reference book editor, has collected the first one-volume reference book on the subject of the U.S.'s involvement in Iraq and Afghanistan. Not only does the book include the traditional A-Z entries of an encyclopedia, but also specialized sections of information, including longer entries explaining the history of Afghanistan, the history and impact of Islam, the role of Special Operations forces, and more. A third section includes historical documents - speeches, papers, etc. Most are post-9/11, but there are several that are historical documents, giving the reader a complete overview of the history of the subject. The fourth section is a timeline of the events that led to 9/11, and those events that followed. Each section is tagged to the others, creating a web of information for the reader. |
