American Cipher: Bowe Bergdahl and the U.S. Tragedy in Afghanistan by Matt Farwell, Michael Ames
Requirements: .MP3 reader, 361 MB
Overview: The explosive narrative of the life, captivity, and trial of Bowe Bergdahl, the soldier who was abducted by the Taliban and whose story has served as a symbol for America’s foundering war in Afghanistan.
“A riveting journalistic account of Bowe Bergdahl’s disastrous – and weirdly poignant – choice to walk off his military base in Afghanistan…. A spectacularly good book about an incredibly painful and important topic.” (Sebastian Junger, author of Tribe and War)
Private First Class Bowe Bergdahl left his platoon’s base in Eastern Afghanistan in the early hours of June 30, 2009. Since that day, easy answers to the many questions surrounding his case – why did he leave his post? What kinds of efforts were made to recover him from the Taliban? And why, facing a court martial, did he plead guilty to the serious charges against him? – have proved elusive.
Taut in its pacing but sweeping in its scope, American Cipher is the riveting and deeply sourced account of the nearly decade-old Bergdahl quagmire – which, as journalists Matt Farwell and Michael Ames persuasively argue, is as illuminating an episode as we have as we seek the larger truths of how the US lost its way in Afghanistan.
