6/series. Ex CIA/loose cannon iron man John Wells revisits the country
where he spent nearly a decade under cover: Afghanistan. This time, he’s not
undercover as a Taliban fighter, but in Kandahar investigating possible American troop
corruption. Among other things. Berenson (whose thanks page includes the pilots
who took him along on recent patrols in the Afghan theater) brings an
authenticity to his books that’s hard to match. The melding of internal and
external lives is almost textbook perfect, and his portrayal of the stresses on
our soldiers is at time heartbreaking. Never tell yourself that we do not suffer as a country when we go to war in a foreign place. We do, and our kids, our treasure, do even more. A 5, as always, the book is topical, very well-researched, and exciting.
