The Envoy: From Kabul to the White House, My Journey Through a Turbulent World by Zalmay Khalilzad
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Khalilzad gives a great personal & close-up tour of some very significant times in modern history--especially with regards to America's post-9/11 involvement in Afghanistan and Iraq. Amazing that a man who grew up in Mazar-e-Sharif & Kabul found himself in the inner circle of leaders from the most powerful country of the world at such a critical time. Khalilzad made a difference in these engagements, though his counsel was not always listened to or acted on. Remarkable man with a deep grasp of geopolitics.
