Greetings from Afghanistan, Send More Ammo: Dispatches from Taliban Country
Not really a book but a collection of mostly blog posts and essays from a captain designated as an Embedded Training Team member, training the Afghan National Army in the 2006-2007 timeframe. Really excellent, short accounts of various aspects of the war. Reads very fast and yet he covers a lot of ground. Recommended at 4 Star level.
