This book provides an overview of NATO and other Allied air power in the lengthy campaign to secure democracy in Afghanistan and destroy Taliban and other Islamic extremist terror forces in the combat zone. It contains a mix of explanatory text, diagrams and stunning action colour photography. Tim Ripley has had access to all NATO air bases in the area and brings an unprecedented degree of detail and accuracy to the book.
For those interested in military aviation history, the volume is a great source of reference. For those looking for a solid historical account of the application of airpower over Afghanistan since 2001, this is a fabulous resource.
