Charlie Wilson's War: The Extraordinary Story of How… por George Crile
Charlie Wilson's War is a 2007 American biographical comedy-drama film based on the story of U.S. Congressman Charlie Wilson and CIA operative Gust Avrakotos, whose efforts led to Operation Cyclone, a program to organize and support the Afghan mujahideen during the Soviet–Afghan War (1979–1989).
If I hadn't seen the movie first, I probably would have finished the book. Instead I quit about half way through.
If you want to know why we were in Afghanistan, this is the only book you need to read. It can be slow at times but get through it. By the time you read the endnote, nothing from 9/11 on will surprise you.
Reads like a novel, with Charlie Wilson larger than life. The Epilogue though is very frightening -- leaving a legacy of armed Muslim fanatics battling each other in Afghanistan and the United States everywhere.
