Fernando Gentilini served nearly two years as the civilian representative of NATO in Afghanistan running a counterinsurgency campaign in the wartorn nation Afghan Lessons is the fascinating story of his mission a firsthand view of Afghanistan through a kaleidoscope He explores Afghan history literature tradition and culture to understand some of the most basic questions of Western involvement What is the purpose What does an international presence mean and how can it helpHighlights from Afghan LessonsThis is a book about different worlds different realities The reality of everyday life in an unreal world People that need to be looked after jobs that need to be done a country that needs to be restored all from within the necessary confines of an armed camp And this in the middle of another reality which we do not understand full of things forgotten under decades of war The keys to this reality lie in the past perhaps lost from the Foreword by Robert CooperTo tempt me to explore their country the Afghans kept repeating that there were three different Afghanistans The first is the one you Westerners imagine another coincides with the city of Kabul the third is the country of remote provinces far away from the cities and of the three this is the only real AfghanistanThere can be no development without security and no security without development Everyone said it over and over again both the civilians and the military but depending on whether it was said by the former or the latter the emphasis was placed on the first or second part of the slogan In all honesty this seemingly obvious concept concealed two contrasting ways of seeing things

John Brady Kiesling a twentyyear veteran of the foreign service publicly resigned his position as political counselor of the US Embassy in Athens in February 2003 to protest the Bush administrations impending invasion of Iraq He believed that the security economic and moral costs of this war including the blackening of Americas image abroad would far outweigh any benefit to the American people In Diplomacy Lessons Kiesling reminds readers that US power does not rest on military might alone and that anger at America has real consequences for US national interestsThe security and prosperity of the American people depend on efficient cooperation with foreigners on a range of issues not only terrorism and nuclear nonproliferation but also trade policy environmental protection and even public health The policy decisions of Americas foreign partners are driven by domestic politics just as they are in the United States and effective US diplomacy requires understanding these political realities An unloved superpower faces significant costs both economic and strategic in the pursuit of its interests Kiesling calls for a return to realist policy making that recognizes the limits of US power and uses thoughtful diplomacy to legitimize our security requirements in the eyes of our international partnersThis book is at heart an argument for how to best achieve Americas goals abroad Kieslings passionate critique of current US foreign policy and his prescriptions for restoring American influence and legitimacy will interest anyone concerned about the future of US and world affairs

After the fall of the Taliban instability reigned across Afghanistan However in the small town of Istalif located a little over an hour north of Kabul and not far from Bagram on the Shomali Plain local politics remained relatively violencefree Bazaar Politics examines this seemingly paradoxical situation exploring how the towns local politics maintained peace despite a long violent history in a country dealing with a growing insurgency At the heart of this story are the Istalifi potters skilled craftsmen trained over generations With workshops organized around extended families and competition between workshops strong kinship relations become political and subtle negotiations over power and authority underscore most interactions Starting from this microcosm Noah Coburn then investigates power and relationships at various levels from the potters families to the local officials religious figures and former warlords and ultimately to the international community and NGO workers Offering the first longterm ontheground study since the arrival of allied forces in 2001 Noah Coburn introduces readers to daily life in Afghanistan through portraits of local residents and stories of his own experiences He reveals the ways in which the international community has misunderstood the forces driving local conflict and the insurgency misunderstandings that have ultimately contributed to the political unrest rather than resolved it Though on first blush the potters of Istalif may seem far removed from international affairs it is only through understanding politics power and culture on the local level that we can then shed new light on Afghanistans difficult search for peace
