Horn Book Review

In response to the September 11 attacks, the U.S. government sent forces to Afghanistan. The military and humanitarian goals of Operation Enduring Freedom are superficially described in adequate prose and illustrated with average-quality color photos. Written and published while the events were ongoing, the volume may be helpful for report writers seeking early book-length works on the topic. A timeline is included. Glos., ind. (c) Copyright 2010.
