“Elliot’s descriptions of Afghanistan and its extraordinary people are so vivid, evocative, and hauntingly real that I found myself reaching for my old camel-hair pakol and 9mm Makarov. His portrayal of the intelligence community’s tactics, techniques, and procedures are so spot-on accurate that one wonders whether travel writer was merely his cover.”—Matthew Bogdanos, Colonel, U.S. Marine Corps and author of "Thieves of Baghdad"""
