Afghanistan's War without End Frank W Skilbeck

The war in Afghanistan entered its eighteenth year in 2018 making it the longest fought by American forces in U. S. history. Described as a war without end, it began in October 2001 shortly after the September 11 terrorist attacks against the United States. Afghanistan's War Without End, A Story of Love and Duty chronicles the lives of three men from disparate backgrounds who unite to bring peace to Afghanistan and open the way for the war-torn country to secure a rightful place in the international community of nations. It also speaks to the absurdity and futility of war while acknowledging the brave combatants compelled to participate -- some making the ultimate sacrifice. The narrative follows the trio's sensitive interactions and growing empathy over a period of years, documenting each man's anguish, resolve, dedication, sense of duty, and love of their respective countries, as they pool their considerable talents to help bring closure to Afghanistan's war without end.
