Two decades on, as the U.S. prepare to withdraw militarily from Afghanistan, it is time to revisit Lévy’s report, available in English for the first time, and to reflect on what once was hoped and envisioned for the country, as well as what has happened in the years since. Foreword by General David Petraeus.
