Directorate S: The C.I.A. and America’s Secret Wars in Afghanistan and Pakistan

bySteve Coll

Focused on the C.I.A. and America’s Secret Wars in Afghanistan and Pakistan, Directorate S brings Steve Coll's historical account to a complex and consequential subject. By tracing causes alongside consequences, the narrative gives readers both a grounded account and a route into the connected fields of history and political science. The result avoids a single easy lesson, emphasizing instead how circumstances, institutions, and individual choices interacted over time. Readers finish with a sharper understanding of the subject and why its consequences still deserve attention.
