Özet
 Now a Major Motion Picture titled Whiskey Tango Foxtrot starring Tina Fey, Margot Robbie, Martin Freeman, Alfred Molina, and Billy Bob Thornton.

From tea with warlords in the countryside to parties with drunken foreign correspondents in the “dry” city of Kabul, journalist Kim Barker captures the humor and heartbreak of life in post-9/11 Afghanistan and Pakistan in this profound and darkly comic memoir. As Barker grows from awkward newbie to seasoned reporter, she offers an insider’s account of the region’s “forgotten war” at a time when all eyes were turned to Iraq. Candid, self-deprecating, and laugh-out-loud funny, Barker shares both her affection for the absurdities of these two hapless countries and her fear for their future stability.

Fascinating book and a great insight into the endless troubles.

Struggled at first to get used to the narrator, however, she grew on more and did a fantastic job.

Thank you

Great listen.

I turned it off in the second chapter. The author writes like a teenager who spent a decade in Kabul doing nothing but moaning and thinking they are great. The self-important, over-descriptive BS was too much for me. Don't waste your money.

Written by a self-important high schooler

The fact that a major newspaper in the US employed Kim Barker as a foreign correspondent in Afghanistan highlights the incompetence of the whole approach to Afghanistan.

Whiny and ignorant of the culture of the populace. A lot of the book is gossip, borderline kiss and tell nonsense which would be best suited to a British tabloid.

There’s nothing of substance in this book, a total waste of time. Kim Barker should have learned from Suzy Hansen, someone who spent a lot of time in a foreign land and was able to truly see things from a different perspective. Taliban shuffle is complete drivel compared to Suzy Hansen’s work.

Not worth the time
