Excellent overview of the last 15 years of US policy in Central Asia
Krakauer has a talent for writing what at first seems like a biography for a limited subject, but ends up using it as a starting point for much larger issues.
Into Thin Air was just as much about the Everest Disaster as it was about the culture of mountaineering to a place human beings were never meant to visit on foot. Under the Banner of Heaven was ostensibly about a terrible double murder in the American West but was much more a detailed and contextual history of the Mormon faith.
As is with Where Men Win Glory. On its face, Krakauer tells the story of how an unremarkable athlete with a solid conscience set out to do something greater for the country he loved, and wound up being wholly exploited by his government following his death at the hands of his own countrymen. But much of the book acts as a detailed history of how Afghanistan got to the state it was by the mid-2000's.
An excellent read. Couldn't put it down.
