Resumen del Editor
The explosive narrative of the life, captivity, and trial of Bowe Bergdahl, the soldier who was abducted by the Taliban and whose story has served as a symbol for America's foundering war in Afghanistan
”An unsettling and riveting book filled with the mysteries of human nature.”—Kirkus
Private First Class Bowe Bergdahl left his platoon's base in eastern Afghanistan in the early hours of June 30, 2009. Since that day, easy answers to the many questions surrounding his case—why did he leave his post? What kinds of efforts were made to recover him from the Taliban? And why, facing a court martial, did he plead guilty to the serious charges against him?—have proved elusive.
Taut in its pacing but sweeping in its scope, American Cipher is the riveting and deeply sourced account of the nearly decade-old Bergdahl quagmire—which, as journalists Matt Farwell and Michael Ames persuasively argue, is as illuminating an episode as we have as we seek the larger truths of how the United States lost its way in Afghanistan. The book tells the parallel stories of a young man's halting coming of age and a nation stalled in an unwinnable war, revealing the fallout that ensued when the two collided: a fumbling recovery effort that suppressed intelligence on Bergdahl's true location and bungled multiple opportunities to bring him back sooner; a homecoming that served to deepen the nation's already-vast political fissure; a trial that cast judgment on not only the defendant, but most everyone involved. The book's beating heart is Bergdahl himself—an idealistic, misguided soldier onto whom a nation projected the political and emotional complications of service.
Based on years of exclusive reporting drawing on dozens of sources throughout the military, government, and Bergdahl's family, friends, and fellow soldiers, American Cipher is at once a meticulous investigation of government dysfunction and political posturing, a blistering commentary on America's presence in Afghanistan, and a heartbreaking story of a naïve young man who thought he could fix the world and wound up the tool of forces far beyond his understanding.
Reseñas de la Crítica
“Compelling . . . In American Cipher the specific facts of Bergdahl’s case are elevated to the allegorical, and this is where Farwell and Ames’s storytelling really shines. . . . Farwell and Ames convincingly show that so many of the reasons we’ve been fighting in Afghanistan for 18 years—bureaucratic inertia, partisan dysfunction, domestic indifference—are the same reasons that, even when Bergdahl’s captors eagerly hoped to broker his release, it took so long to recover him.”—Elliot Ackerman, The Washington Post
“Farwell and Ames convincingly rebut popular misconceptions about the then-23-year-old Private Bowe Bergdahl’s desertion of his post in Afghanistan in 2009. . . . The authors humanize their subject with a detailed look at his life before Afghanistan. . . . The engrossing narrative intertwines Bergdahl’s odyssey with an effective critique of U.S. policy in Afghanistan under both Republican and Democratic administrations. Readers looking for a nontechnical history of America’s longest war and a nuanced look at Bergdahl’s story will find that here.”—Publishers Weekly (starred review)
“Compelling. . . . What makes Matt Farwell and Michael Ames’s American Cipher so welcome is its spurning of a hoary framework of understanding. . . . In its understated but poignant way, American Cipher paints a picture of the United States as a country that has forever been imprisoned by its imperialist impulse to expand.”—The Nation

Unlike the wars in Vietnam and Iraq, the US invasion of Afghanistan in 2001 had near-unanimous public support. At first, the goals were straightforward and clear: Defeat al-Qaeda and prevent a repeat of 9/11. Yet soon after the United States and its allies removed the Taliban from power, the mission veered off-course and US officials lost sight of their original objectives.

For months, he had sent shocking revelations from inside the terrorist network and now promised to help the CIA assassinate Osama bin Laden’s top deputy. Instead, as he stepped from his car, he detonated a 30-pound bomb strapped to his chest, instantly killing seven CIA operatives....

Written very well
I had purchased this book after listening to Serial season 2. The authors are very thorough and this is well written. I don’t wish to give away key details… the take aways: It is amazing how poor communication, misinformation and political games have been played as this all went down. It makes me distrust cable media even more and hate how elections, political parties and general public can be easily persueded. I am amazed at the efforts his family went to try to save him. My heart goes out to everyone affected during those five years.

An epic he had written in his imagination...
"Bergdahl’s truth was far sadder than the version that his country had written for him upon his return. His truth also matched what Coe and his friends in Idaho had believed all along: Bowe was a well-intentioned, remarkably naïve twenty-three-year-old with the impulsiveness and judgment of a kid half his age."
- Matt Farwell, et al, American Cipher
I was conflicted both about reading this book and reviewing it. The book was a bit tender for me. Bergdahl's parents came to my brother's funeral about 9 years ago in South Eastern Idaho. My brother had recently died in a black hawk crash. He served in Iraq twice, served in Afghanistan twice, was awarded numerous medals for valor, including the Distinguished Flying Cross. My little brother served 16 months in Eastern Afghanistan in the same area, roughly as Bowe Bergdahl spent spent his first month+ in Afghanistan. My father-in-law was a contractor in Kabul, Afghanistan for almost 3 years. My brother-in-law was an Army artillary officer who trained Afghans on using big guns. It is hard for me to have a conversation with a male in my family without discussing Afghanistan. I've read a bunch on Afghanistan, but felt a bit overwhelmed by the subject.
We've been in this war for nearly 18 years. Men and women are going over to Afghanistan now who weren't alive when 9/11 began. Like many in the West, I can also pretend for days and weeks and months that there isn't a war going on; that people aren't dying, being shot, and being broken (on both sides). In truth, I'm exhausted by it. But I also, at the same time, feel a tremendous responsibility to TRY to understand why we are there, to uncover the "truth" from the wreckage of time, politics, and propaganda. So, I continue to try to read books that get me a bit deeper into understanding the mess that IS the war in Afghanistan.
So, why did I find it hard to review this book? Well, this book was basically the brain-child of, and co-written by, my brother. My brother and Michael Hastings broke the story open years ago in Rolling Stone. Matt brought the story to Michael and Michael mentored my brother as they co-wrote it in 2012. A few years after they began their collaboration (they co-wrote several articles in Rolling Stone) Hastings died. Bowe Bergdahl and Afghanistan has consumed my brother since. How do I review THAT? How do I keep my bias to a minimum?
The reality was, however, once I actually started the book I was hooked. The writing was great. There were a couple jumps that were a bit wonky but other than that it seemed to sit easily on the shelf next to Wright's The Looming Tower: Al-Qaeda and the Road to 9/11 and Junger's War. Just look on the back. Sebastian Junger, Karl Marlantes, Andrew Bacevich, Andrew Cockburn, and Anand Gopal all wrote stunning praise for the copy. Perhaps, my love for the book was independent of my love for one of its authors.
The book does two things amazingly well: 1. It humanizes Bowe Bergdahl. 2. It illuminates, through the Bergdahl episode, the disfunction of the US military, political system, foreign policy, and our press. This isn't a superficial and partisan look at Bergdahl. The authors don't trash one party, they show the weakness of every administration going back to Carter (and perhaps even Eisenhower) in dealing with Afghanistan. Matt is able to bring out the devil in the details of the military, the CIA, and the bureaucracy in Afghanistan. Michael Ames (and previous work done by Michael Hastings and Matt) provides background on Bowe's youth. It is hard to read this story without appreciating the complexities of Bowe's relationship with his father.
But it is the way this book weaves the story of Bowe with the policies and decisions in Afghanistan that make this a great (and yes important) book. The prose is fantastic (go read shorter pieces written by my brother in the New York Times or Vanity Fair or Playboy to see my brother knows how to bend a sentence and expand a word). It is well-researched, balanced, and does what good reporting is supposed to do - inform. It also, in the end, provides a nice, neat metaphor for our experience in Afghanistan. It was easy to get over there, but because of our overconfidence and naïveté, extremely expensive and complex trying to leave.
The audio was great.

Must read.
What an incredible work by Matt Farwell here. Through a story of one guy from Idaho that was kidnapped by an organization that wouldn’t have existed without Operation Cyclone, you get a glimpse into the mess and crime that was the American invasion/occupation of Afghanistan.
You get a great peak into how institutions such as the CIA and Army were battling their own wars within the American establishment. A humanizing look into the man and family that were used as cannon fodder by the military to try and find some wins in a hopeless war, a fact not unknown to most of the people engaged in the fighting. Be they higher ups or rank and file combatants. Also great insight into how quickly the “respect our troops” media crowd will turn to regurgitating enemy propaganda if it suits their political purposes.
Great historical context and expose of the contradiction of the US military establishment told through the tragedy that was Bowe Bergdahl’s senseless five year captivity.
