“An unwinnable war charts the motives, negotiations and decisions that carried Australia into Afghanistan: from then Prime Minister John Howard’s presence in Washington DC on September 11, 2001, to the ‘transition’ plan to hand security to Afghan forces-all played out against a backdrop of increasing casualties, military and civilian. Based on interviews with key figures in Australia and abroad, An unwinnable war lays bare the tensions between political and military decision-making, the nature and potency of the US alliance and the influence of individual personalities in charting Australia’s course in what was once dubbed the good war.”
