Book excerpt: "This feverish 'dream play' is a collaboration between playwright Stephen Sewell and director Jeff Janisheski. Kandahar Gate is loosely inspired by Akira Kurosawa's 1950 film Rashomon, but transplants the action to contemporary Australia and centres on the death of a soldier in Afghanistan. At the dark heart of the play is an exploration of how 'truth' gets buried -- by governments, the military, and one's own memory. It is a powerful and deeply political piece of theatre from one of Australia's great playwrights"--P. [4] of cover.

Book excerpt: "Our Mission was the people of Kandahar and keeping the Taliban from interfering with rebuilding. When we did use force, we had to be discriminate Killing innocent civilians would be mission failure. I had the A-Team ad could not make it work with lesser men and women." - Lieutenant-Colonel rob Walker, Commanding Officer, 2RCR Battlegroup "Our job is to create a functional government that earns the respect of its population. The people of Kandahar are not asking for life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. They want Canada's peace, order, and good government. We're getting there. But it takes time, Thankfully Afghans are more patient than people back home." - Gavin Buchan, Director, Foreign Affairs, Kandahar Provincial Reconstruction Team, 2006-07 "My soliders got to know every inch of Zharey District and its people. It was our back-yard. We knew it better than the Taliban, especially the foreign fighters. People learned to trust us and started staying in their homes while we rant he enemy out of town." - Major David Quick, India Company
Book Synopsis Lions of Kandahar by : Rusty Bradley
Download or read book Lions of Kandahar written by Rusty Bradley and published by Bantam. This book was released on 2015-05-19 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A raw and authentic war story about untamed Green Berets in action.”—Dalton Fury, New York Times bestselling author of Kill Bin Laden Southern Afghanistan was slipping away. That was clear to then-Captain Rusty Bradley as he began his third tour of duty there in 2006. The Taliban and their allies were infiltrating everywhere, poised to reclaim Kandahar Province, their strategically vital onetime capital. To stop them, the NATO coalition launched Operation Medusa, the largest offensive in its history. Dispatched as a diversionary force in support of the main coalition attack, Bradley’s Special Forces A-team watched as the NATO force was quickly engulfed in a vicious counterattack. Key to relieving it was possession of Sperwan Ghar, a modest patch of high ground. Bradley’s small detachment assaulted the hill and, in the midst of a savage and unforgettable firefight, soon learned they were facing nearly a thousand seasoned fighters. Now Bradley recounts the whole remarkable story as it actually happened and brings to life the men who impossibly won the day—Americans and Afghans alike—each unique, all indelible in their everyday exercise of extraordinary heroism. Praise for Lions of Kandahar “A powerful and gripping account of a battle that helped shape the war in Afghanistan . . . With crisp writing and page-turning action, Lions of Kandahar is one of the best books written about the conflict.”—Mitch Weiss, Pulitzer Prize–winning investigative journalist and co-author of Tiger Force: A True Story of Men and War “One of the most important documents to emerge from the war in Afghanistan.”—The Seattle Times “Powerful . . . a riveting account of a strategic battle that doesn’t glorify war or focus on heroic deeds . . . Make room on your military bookshelf for Lions of Kandahar.”—San Antonio Express-News “Bradley takes the reader into battle.”—Time
Book Synopsis The Hooligans of Kandahar by : Joseph Kassabian
Download or read book The Hooligans of Kandahar written by Joseph Kassabian and published by TCK Publishing. This book was released on 2018-08-09 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An Army combat veteran’s personal account of his time in service during the Afghan War with an unconventional squad. In the birthplace of the Taliban, some men lose their lives, some lose their sanity, and others their humanity. They are the Hooligans . . . During the peak of the Afghanistan War, a group of soldiers is dropped by helicopter into the remote mountains outside of Kandahar City. Mismanaged and overlooked by command, the squad must rely on each other to survive. Their mission is to train and advise the Afghan National Police and help rebuild the country of Afghanistan. The Afghan Police station they are assigned to live in is dangerous health hazard. Many of the police officers they are supposed to train are Taliban sleeper agents or the family of Taliban fighters. The ones that aren’t are often addicted to drugs, illiterate, or smuggling child slaves. The squad’s leader is Slim, a staff sergeant in his late twenties with so many mental health issues that his insanity is his most dominant personality trait. An alcoholic with a penchant for violent outbursts against both his own soldiers and the Afghans, he is more comfortable at war than at home. Joseph Kassabian is the youngest and most junior fire team leader in the squad. He’s charged with leading a team of soldiers not even old enough to drink. He himself is only 21 years old. As a combat veteran from previous deployments with four years in the Army, he assumes he has seen it all. But he has no idea how bad things can get in war-torn Kandahar . . . Humorous and grim yet honest, The Hooligans of Kandahar is Jarhead and The Hurt Locker meets I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell and Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. Winner of the 2017 eLit Awards Gold Medal in Current Events Praise for The Hooligans of Kandahar “A frighteningly realistic snapshot of the current war. Mr. Kassabian paints a deeply moving portrait of the struggles faced by men and women in uniform caused by our current foreign policy (or lack thereof), while bringing us along for a horrific, often . . . hilarious ride through the life of an American soldier.” —William Fulton, author of the critically acclaimed book The Blood of Patriots, Hill vets 100 awardee, SME/Consultant Domestic Terrorism

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “I wish with all my heart that you were in school. I love my country, Daughter, but here we have been robbed of our most precious gifts: thought and imagination. Only in an atmosphere of peace and security can artists, poets, and writers flourish. Without our artists and storytellers, we have no history, and without history our future is unmoored—we drift. It is art, never war, that carries culture forward.”

Book Synopsis Views in Affghaunistaun by : Sir Keith Alexander Jackson (2d bart.)
Download or read book Views in Affghaunistaun written by Sir Keith Alexander Jackson (2d bart.) and published by . This book was released on 1840 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sir Keith Alexander Jackson was a captain in the Fourth Light Dragoons in the British army, part of the Anglo-Indian force that set out for Afghanistan from British India in December 1838, thereby precipitating the First Anglo-Afghan War (1839-42). The British objective was to drive the Afghan amir, Dost Mohammed Khan, from the throne and replace him with Shah Shujaʻ, who was seen as more friendly to Britain and less subject to Russian influence than the amir. The Army of the Indus, as the force was called, reached Quetta in late March 1839 and proceeded through the Bolan Pass (in present-day Pakistan) and on into Afghanistan. The British captured Kandahar on April 25, 1839, and the great fortress of Ghazni on July 23 of that year. Views in Affghaunistaun is a collection of 25 hand-colored lithographic plates, based on sketches made by Jackson in the course of the campaign. Each of the illustrations is accompanied by a text, written by Jackson, identifying the subject and providing historical and topographical information. The book includes views of numerous cities and towns in Afghanistan and in present-day Pakistan, including Quetta, Kabul, and Kandahar. Also shown are the Bolan Pass; forts and fortresses; landscapes; ruins; and local people as well as British officers. The frontispiece is a hand-colored portrait of an Afghan man, identified as a facsimile of a colored drawing found in one of the rooms in the fortress of Ghazni after the storming of the citadel. A map shows the route of the Army of the Indus from its starting point at Thatta (present-day Pakistan), up the Indus River, and ultimately to Kandahar and Kabul. The book is dedicated "To The Chairman and Directors of the Honble, the East India Company" by Joseph Fowell Walton, who may have been one of the lithographers. Jackson died in Kabul in 1843.
