No Good Men Among the Living

Given the complexity of Afghan society, I wonder what guided the selection of voices to tell this nuanced story—was it based on access, impact, or a narrative arc?

It’s easy to get caught up in the military aspects, but the personal stories really humanized the broader political struggles. I’d love to hear if others felt the same or learned something unexpected.

This approach offers a fresh angle, but I wonder what motivated the choice to center the voices of Afghans themselves—did the author aim to challenge existing narratives or fill a gap in reporting?
