The Ascent of Intervention-in-Afghanistan Man
John Ditchburn
16 August 2021
Generations of foreign forces have gone into Afghanistan and left again, defeated. John Ditchburn’s simple sequence uses a Darwinian theme to suggest the makers of those wars have evolved very little as each ventured afresh into the graveyard of empires. It implies a failure to learn from history.
