| Publisher Description: The United States launched an international war on terrorism in response to the September 11, 2001, terror attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. As a result, young people are bombarded with images of Saddam Hussein, Osama bin Laden, battles taking place in Iraq and Afghanistan, and prisoners of war held in Guantanamo Bay. Using related images set in a magazine-like design, this series examines a number of developing events related to the war on terrorism, reflecting the latest, most up-to-date information available. With lively, straightforward writing and dramatic images from the front, these books offer a gripping narrative to complement and enhance today's headlines. Using the most up-to-date information available, this book reports on the postwar activities of American forces in Afghanistan, Riveting accounts of troops on the hunt for terrorists, training recruits for the new Afghanistan National Army, and interacting with local Afghans offer an authentic look at a country on the verge of change. The book documents U.S. efforts to win the hearts and minds of the Afghan population as it follows the political, economic, and social developments that derive from U.S. nation-building policies. Related images from the front, help to create the frontline coverage of this unique look at current events. |
