There is an excellent book by Stathis Kalvas called The Logic of Violence in Civil War. It was one of the first books we read in SAMS this year. I highly recommend it to use a potential framework for Afghanistan and Pakistan wars and how they are being conducted.
It doesn't hold all the answers, no theory or book is capable of such a thing, however, it may help you understand the war(s) in Afghanistan.
