Includes bibliographical references. In October 2011, the war in Afghanistan reached its ignominious ten year anniversary. As the conflict rolls on relentlessly, observers from across all disciplines, and indeed the general public themselves, have attempted to identify why the intervention, which began as Operation Enduring Freedom, has instead become an ‘Enduring Nightmare’. This dissertation attempts to provide empirical reasoning to this question by means of a literature review of the established strategic critiques of the intervention between the years of October 2001 and October 2008. 2015-01-11T04:45:51Z 2015-01-11T04:45:51Z 2012 Master Thesis Masters MSocSc http://hdl.handle.net/11427/12033 eng application/pdf Department of Political Studies Faculty of Humanities University of Cape Town |
