This is her report on that (ultimately flawed) military action, the story of corrupt warlords, insurgency, and, into the villages where the elders were struggling to help their people survive the newest Afghan revolution. For, as the rear panel blurb states " ... The Punishment of Virtue charge the course of the story whose tragic climax was not inevitable, but rather was the result of misguided and shortsighted policies. Weaving passages of carefully researched and engagingly narrated history into her tale, Chayes helps us grasp the subtleties of an exotic and strategic plan and proves how important it is for policy-makers to have an inkling of such subtleties before launching into overseas missions."
