Abstract: "To understand Afghanistan's culture, its potential for modernization and democracy, and its remaining military challenges, one must walk in the shoes of the Afghan people and its army. From May 2006 to May 2007, I walked in those shoes. These essays are the footprints of my journey."--Introduction.
