Betrayal of Command: My Marine Corps Journey (Afghanistan 2001-2004) Through War, Betrayal and the High Cost of Failed Military Leadership

Lieutenant Colonel Asad Khan recounts his journey from Pakistan's tribal mountains to commanding Marines in Afghanistan's Uruzgan Province, highlighting the chaos of war and the hidden failures of senior leadership.

The book reveals political maneuvering, manipulated metrics, careerism, and a decay of accountability that eroded trust and cost lives during America's longest conflict.

Beyond a war memoir, it offers a moral reckoning on leadership, loyalty, and institutional culture, with lessons applicable to military and business bureaucracies.
