Why did the British army’s time in Afghanistan go so disastrously wrong?
This two-part BBC Afghanistan documentary tells the story of the British army’s involvement in Afghanistan in the years following 9/11. British forces entered Afghanistan confident they could keep the peace, defeat the Taliban and rebuild the nation. In 2014, they left in defeat.
