At What Cost

America's War in Afghanistan and Words From Those Who Served

By: J.J. Ainsworth

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Who is left behind when war suddenly ends?

In 2021, President Joe Biden announced the total withdrawal of American troops from Afghanistan. This would put an end to a conflict that spanned two decades — the longest war in US history. The retreat was fraught, involving a Taliban takeover, an airport exodus in Kabul, and a bombing that left nearly 200 dead.

The United States would then spend over 3.3 billion to evacuate and resettle refugees, dwarfed by the 2 trillion already spent on Afghanistan. Through all the rubble, we are still left wondering: what is the human cost of war?

Listen to the many voices of war in At What Cost: America's War in Afghanistan and Words From Those Who Served by J.J. Ainsworth.

This book is divided into five parts and begins with a brief refresher on the political and historical context of the conflict. It ends with a roll call naming the 2,448 fallen heroes who gave their lives in service.

Inside, you'll find interviews and a comprehensive chronology of events with details on combat operations throughout the war. The perspective darts all over the chess board, visiting policy-makers in the highest echelons to the military ground operators who witnessed the fighting in real-time.

Author J.J. Ainsworth is an army veteran who spent two tours deployed in Afghanistan. This book is a valuable resource for anyone who wishes to understand the heavy price the country paid and what the war was like for those who served.
