I've been listening to her book on CD this past week (a long commute and a library full of interesting books on CD is contributing significantly to my continuing education).
She has really dedicated herself personally to Afghanistan and spent a great deal of time living among the people since the invasion, so whether you agree with her or not, it is definitely an informed perspective. The book is well worth a read/listen.

(Understanding is more important than Knowledge)
"The modern COIN mindset is when one arrogantly goes to some foreign land and attempts to make those who live there a lesser version of one's self. The FID mindset is when one humbly goes to some foreign land and seeks first to understand, and then to help in some small way for those who live there to be the best version of their own self." Colonel Robert C. Jones, US Army Special Forces (Retired)
