SUMMARY OF THE BOOK: Sunset in the Graveyard of Empires In this account, titled "Sunset in the Graveyard of Empires," you will not find much in the way of political drama to satisfy an audience eager to place blame on this United States governing administration or that one. Instead, what you will find is an account of the last months of the United States’ military presence in Afghanistan. Here, Dr. Youngblood Coleman endeavors to coalesce varied reporting sources into a roughly chronological narrative. The intention is to offer the reader an accessible but thorough experience, as they digest the United States’ exit from Afghanistan after 20 years “in country.” Nevertheless, after 20 years of writing about Afghanistan, not in isolation, but in addition to the other recognized countries of the world, Dr. Youngblood Coleman also shares some thoughts about United States foreign policy. A lengthy military engagement, with an ending that some might regard as ignominious, requires some introspection regarding America’s place in the world. Key items covered:
- The Decision to Withdraw from Afghanistan - The Fall of Kabul - The failure of the Afghanistan military in defending Afghanistan - How did the collapse of the Afghanistan government occur with such rapidity and without warning ? - The evacuation of Americans and refugees from Afghanistan in the biggest airlift in human history - The final exit of United States forces from Afghanistan after 20 years - The Biden Doctrine and the repudiation of national building as a foreign policy exercise - The re-Talibanization of Afghanistan - The last resistant stronghold in Afghanistan - U.S. foreign policy: A catastrophe two decades in the making From Dr. Denise Youngblood Coleman, Chief Editorial Officer and Senior International Affairs Analyst, Country Watch Inc.
