Book One, The Valediction: Three Nights of Desmond – A Novelized Memoir – After 20 years of occupation, America’s silent retreat from Afghanistan’s Bagram Airfield in the middle of the night on July 5, 2021 marked the end of an era. Born out of an obsession to give the Soviet Union its own Vietnam at the start of the Carter administration in 1977, Afghanistan grew over a decade into a neoconservative cause célèbre and the CIA’s largest covert operation in history. President Reagan’s crusade against the Evil Empire set the stage for endless war by privatizing covert action and spawning an independent financial network that put the planet up for grabs to the highest bidder. And with the breakup of the Soviet Union in 1991, the U.S. believed it had won control of the future.
In the summer of 1979 Paul Fitzgerald and Elizabeth Gould entered this epic story as journalists, and for over forty years witnessed first-hand how the U.S. transformed its Afghan trap “victory” into trapping itself in a second Vietnam.
Without realizing Afghanistan’s mythic dimension as the graveyard of empires the United States must now come to grips with a whole new reality that is not just undoing the foundation of the American empire but undoing the concept of empire, itself.
The Authors
Paul Fitzgerald and Elizabeth Gould, a husband and wife team, acquired the first visas to enter Afghanistan granted to an American TV crew in 1981. Following their news story for CBS, they produced a PBS documentary and returned to Kabul for ABC Nightline in 1983. Starting in 1992 through 1995 they worked on the film version of their experience under contract to Oliver Stone. In 1998 they started collaborating with Afghan human rights expert Sima Wali. In 2002 they filmed and produced a documentary about Wali’s first return to Kabul since her exile in 1978. Invisible History: Afghanistan’s Untold Story (2009 – Amazon – City Lights) and Crossing Zero: The AfPak War at the Turning Point of American Empire (2011 – Amazon – City Lights) were published by City Lights. The Voice, an esoteric adventure story, was published in 2001.
