Summary

The September 11, 2001, terror attacks orchestrated by al-Qaeda prompted the United States to declare a "War on Terror." When the Taliban government of Afghanistan refused to extradite al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden, an American-led coalition went to war with Afghanistan, overthrowing the Taliban government. America eventually captured and killed bin Laden, but the battle against the Taliban dragged on, while a war-torn and ravaged Afghanistan struggled to rebuild. Finally—20 years after the 9/11 attacks—American and coalition forces withdrew from Afghanistan, and the Taliban took back control of the country.

Afghanistan War, Third Edition features an account of the battles, weapons, tactics, and people involved in this conflict. Complete with full-color and black-and-white photographs and illustrations, full-color maps, and other further resources, Afghanistan War, Third Edition is suited for middle and high school students seeking unbiased information about U.S. military history.
