Abstract

Although the United States is currently completing its withdrawal from
Iraq and just beginning its withdrawal from Afghanistan, the impact of the
events that have occurred there in the past decade will continue to affect
the Middle East, Central Asia and the surrounding for many more years. As
one era is drawing to a close in the post-9/11 era it is worthwhile to review
what led the world to this point, and while there is no shortage of books on
almost every aspect of the conflict between America and Al-Qaeda, Peter
Bergen’s The Longest War is one of the most useful for a number of
reasons

Keywords
