Abstract

Le colonel Arnaud Pellabeuf a effectué trois séjours en Afghanistan. C'est le deuxième qu'il a choisi de raconter ici. En 2011, alors capitaine, il y dirige pendant six mois une unité de gendarmerie mobile chargée de former et d'accompagner la police afghane sur le terrain. Ces hommes en bleu que l'on voit le long de nos routes de campagne se retrouvent projetés au « royaume de l'insolence » durant la période la plus difficile de la guerre en Afghanistan. Avec 26 soldats tués, 2011 est l'année la plus meurtrière pour les forces françaises qui opèrent, à l'est de Kaboul, dans une petite zone formée par la province de Kapisa et le district de Surobi. C'est aussi celle de la mort de Ben Laden. Depuis leur base avancée de Tagab, souvent harcelée par les insurgés, le groupe de soldats va réaliser la première mission de ce type dans l'histoire de la Gendarmerie. Comment instruire les policiers afghans, leur apprendre à faire respecter les règles judiciaires, avoir confiance en eux alors que certains émargent plus ou moins clairement du côté des insurgés et que la guerre fait rage ? C'est cette proximité avec la population tout au long de ces six mois de mission et les leçons qu'en tire l'auteur qui font la richesse de ce livre, au lendemain de la chute brutale de l'Afghanistan et de son retour dans les ténèbres de l'Histoire.

Abstract

Unlike the wars in Vietnam and Iraq, the US invasion of Afghanistan in 2001 had near-unanimous public support. At first, the goals were straightforward and clear : to defeat al-Qaeda and prevent a repeat of 9/11. Yet soon after the United States and its allies removed the Taliban from power, the mission veered off course and US officials lost sight of their original objectives. Distracted by the war in Iraq, the US military became mired in an unwinnable guerrilla conflict in a country it did not understand. But no president wanted to admit failure, especially in a war that began as a just cause. Instead, the Bush, Obama, and Trump administrations sent more and more troops to Afghanistan and repeatedly said they were making progress, even though they knew there was no realistic prospect for an outright victory. This book contains startling revelation after revelation from people who played a direct role in the war, from leaders in the White House and the Pentagon to soldiers and aid workers on the front lines. In unvarnished language, they admit that the US government's strategies were a mess, that the nation-building project was a colossal failure, and that drugs and corruption gained a stranglehold over their allies in the Afghan government. All told, the account is based on interviews with more than 1,000 people who knew that the US government was presenting a distorted, and sometimes entirely fabricated, version of the facts on the ground. This book is a shocking account that will supercharge a long overdue reckoning over what went wrong and forever change the way the conflict is remembered.
