Robert L. Grenier, reveals many facts during the U.S.-Afghanistan war after 9/11. The most outstanding being the high level of intelligence and logistic cooperation between the Pakistani ISI and the American CIA. We discover in this book that Pakistan was instrumental in the capture of many high value targets wanted by the U.S. Grenier, on a number of occasions praises the high professionalism of the Pakistan army. This should be an eye-opener for those U.S. commentators and Congressmen (who are normally off the mark when it comes to Middle Eastern societies) who have blamed Pakistan, in the past for being soft against the terror groups, operating in the FATA region, on Afghan border. The author rightly recognizes that any abrupt and unplanned military action in those areas could have been instrumental in the uprising and hostility of the tribals in the border region - In fact this is exactly what happened. This book is a complete analysis, by an author who understood well, the security issues of the area along with the sensitives of the local culture and linkages. Full marks to this valuable contribution. One can only wish that some of the radical and war-monger U.S. Congressmen can learn any lessons, for their faulty outlook and outbursts - may it be Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iran or Turkey.
Robert Grenier has done a great service by publishing his account of the first phase of the Afghan War. Until now, the narrative of this period has been dominated by the actions of the Northern Alliance, and the policy debates in Washington. However, the CIA Station in Islamabad (which Grenier led as Chief at the time of the 9/11 attacks) has long served as the front line for American efforts against al Qaeda. As such, Grenier played a central role in crafting the initial US response to the attacks.Grenier's prose is smooth and incisive, and presents a surprising level of detail given the sensitivity of his role. As a personal account, the story is undoubtedly biased, though this adds a color to the work which improves rather than detracts from the story. Grenier is up front about his own failings as well, which helps avoid any hint that he might be writing this solely to burnish his own part in the making of history.Cannot recommend this highly enough.
This book sets the record straight as to events on the ground in Pakistan and Afghanistan in the days after the 9/11 attacks, including Mr. Grenier's role as the architect of the fall of Kandahar and final military defeat of the Taliban at the hands of U.S. forces and their Afghan tribal partners. In the absence of any semblance of a plan by either the military or CIA's Counterterrorism Center (CTC), it was Grenier's plan to lash up U.S. military and intelligence personnel with Afghan tribal leaders such as Karzai and Shirzai -- a plan that Grenier's own CIA headquarters and CTC vehemently opposed and tried every way it could to thwart. But with CIA Director Tenet's approval, Grenier and his team in Pakistan and Afghanistan forged ahead with the plan, with tremendous success, ultimately bringing about the defeat of the Taliban and end of the war. Charlatans such as CTC's Hank Crumpton have attempted to steal that valor from those who were actually on the ground at the time, but this volume puts fabrications such as his to rest once and for all.
Mr Grenier delivers a lot of background to our early involvement in Afghanistan and Iraq with a clear, conversational technique. Although my impression of the Pakistan ISI remains skeptical, Mr Grenier was there and his reportage does much to show that Pakistan was a better ally than I had previously thought. I found his tendency to leave the chronology and flashback a little less satisfying, but he did a good job of tying it back together. Some good insights in here for the Political Science major on how the government interagency system works (or oft times works against). Highly recommended.
This text provides interesting detail concerning the events leading up to the departure of the Taliban from Afghanistan. Fascinating reading! It gave a much clearer picture of the role of human intelligence in dealing with difficult circumstances in this part of the world. Also there is more information than one might want to know about internal CIA politics, and dealings with Administration officials. Suspicions are confirmed regarding the ways that intelligence analysis can be twisted by the customer to support positions already taken. This should be a "must read" for anyone involved in various aspects of intelligence collection and analysis.
The author was the CIA station chief in Islamabad around 9/11, and later rose to be the head of the CIA Counter-Terrorism Center. Grenier provides a view of the process by which senior professionals contribute to the formulation of policy within the US government bureaucracy, with the all the cultural stresses and challenges that process entails. I found myself sympathizing with his efforts and (mostly) with his views, and admiring his success in influencing policy in a generally beneficial direction, at least as he tells it. I came away with the sense that the US, and perhaps the world, is fortunate to have people like Grenier serving it.
Outstanding... If you want to know the REAL inside story of the first days of the "Good War" this is a must read along with"First In" and "Jawbreaker". No BS here....it is what it was.
