Assessments and Developments in the Security and Stability of Afghanistan [PDF ebook] 

Following two high-level policy reviews on Afghanistan in 2009, the Obama Administration asserts that it is pursuing a well-resourced and integrated military-civilian strategy intended to pave the way for a gradual transition to Afghan security leadership beginning in July 2011. The policy is intended to ensure that Afghanistan will not again become a base for terrorist attacks against the United States. This new book explores and assesses the developments of the security and stability of the Afghanistan regime with a focus on post-Taliban governance, security and U.S. policy.
