Rory Stewart 和 Gerald Knaus根据自身的经历,给出了合宜的答案。在Stewart成为一个保守党议员之前,他曾担任过伊拉克两个省的省长。他还曾横穿阿富汗,将自己的经历写成了书,并成为了畅销书。Knaus则是一名政治经济学家,他管理一家位于柏林的智库,叫作欧洲稳定计划。其于1999年创建于萨拉热窝,在巴尔干半岛各国特别有影响力。
The book is structured as two essays with a lengthy joint introduction. Mr Stewart haswritten a colourful account of his time in Afghanistan and his failed attempts to stop what hesees as a self- defeating build-up of ambitions, troops and plans. He skewers gobbledygooknotions of bringing Afghans accountable governance and Western-style rule of law. It is notthat he is against such things, but that he doubts the ability of foreigners to impose it all. Hecites a pragmatic admonition from English Mountain Rescue: Be prepared to turn back ifconditions turn against you.
本书由2片论文及一篇很长的合序构成。Stewart描绘了他在阿富汗时多姿多彩的生活,也写了他对阿富汗一系列的雄心壮志,军队的建立以及计划的制定的看法,认为这都是自拆台脚,他想要阻止却未能成功。他竭力讥讽那些官腔,说什么建立一个可信赖的阿富汗政府,引进西方式法治。他并不是反对这些做法,而是质疑外国人的执行力。他在此引用了英国高山救援队的一条朴实的警告;如情况不利,请准备回程。
