Summary
Eagle Down chronicles the final years of America's war in Afghanistan through the experiences of an Army Special Forces team. Journalist Jessica Donati follows these soldiers as they train Afghan commandos and conduct dangerous missions while Washington negotiates a withdrawal with the Taliban. The book reveals the gap between political promises of ending the war and the reality faced by troops on the ground, offering an intimate look at how the conflict's conclusion affected those fighting it and their Afghan partners who would be left behind.
