How to Lose a War - The Story of...

Amin Saikal

An incisive, authoritative account of the West's failures in Afghanistan, from 9/11 to the fall of Kabul 
 
 
  
In 1958, Richard Nixon described Afghanistan as "unconquerable." On August 15, 2021, he was proven right. After twenty years of intervention, US and NATO forces retreated, enabling the Taliban to return to power. Tens of thousands were killed in the long, unwinnable war, and millions more were displaced—leaving the future of Afghanistan hanging in the balance. 
 
 
  
Leading expert Amin Saikal traces the full story of America's intervention, from 9/11 to the present crisis. After an initial swift military strike, the US became embroiled in a drawn-out struggle to change Afghanistan but failed to achieve its aims. Saikal shows how this failure was underlined by protracted attempts to capture Osama bin Laden, an inability to secure a viable government via "democracy promotion" efforts, and lack of wider strategy in the "war on terror." 
 
 
  
How to Lose a War offers an insightful account of one of the US's most significant foreign policy failures—and considers its dire consequences for the people of Afghanistan.

Phaedo - Plato

Plato

Phaedo is one of the dialogues written by the ancient Greek philosopher Plato. It is a philosophical exploration of the nature of the soul, the afterlife, and the concept of knowledge. The dialogue is set on the day of Socrates' execution, and it recounts the conversation between Socrates and his followers, including Phaedo, about his impending death and their beliefs about the soul. 
Throughout the dialogue, Socrates argues that the soul is immortal and that the pursuit of knowledge is the key to achieving true wisdom. He uses a variety of analogies, including the idea of the soul being like a prisoner trapped in the body, to illustrate his points. Socrates also discusses the theory of Forms, which holds that there is a separate, ideal realm of existence that contains perfect and eternal Forms or Ideas, such as Beauty or Justice, that the physical world merely approximates. 
Phaedo is considered one of Plato's most influential works, and it continues to be studied and debated by philosophers and scholars today. Its themes of the nature of the soul, the afterlife, and the pursuit of knowledge are central to many philosophical and religious traditions, and its exploration of these concepts continues to be relevant to contemporary discussions in ethics, epistemology, and metaphysics.
