What Tom would like to read in a history of the American war in Afghanistan

I think I've mentioned that I can't find a good operational
history of the Afghan war so far that covers it from 2001 to the present. (I
actually recently sat on the floor of a military library and basically went
through everything in its stacks about Afghanistan that I hadn't yet read.)

Here are some of the
questions I would like to see answered:

--What was American force posture each year of the war? How
and why did it change?

--Likewise, how did strategy change? What was the goal after
al Qaeda was more or less pushed in Pakistan in 2001-02?

--Were some of the top American commanders more effective
than others? Why?

--We did we have 10 of those top commanders in 10 years?
That doesn't make sense to me. 

--What was the effect of the war in Iraq on the conduct of
the war in Afghanistan?

--What was the significance of the Pech Valley battles? Were
they key or just an interesting sidelight?

--More broadly, what is the history of the fight in the
east? How has it gone? What the most significant points in the campaign there?

--Likewise, why did we focus on the Helmand Valley so much?
Wouldn't it have been better to focus on Kandahar and then cutting off and
isolating Oruzgan and troublesome parts of the Helmand area?

--When did we stop having troops on the ground in Pakistan?
(I know we had them back in late 2001.) Speaking of that, why didn't we use
them as a blocking force when hundreds of al Qaeda fighters, including Osama
bin Laden, were escaping into Pakistan in December 2001?

--Speaking of Pakistan, did it really turn against the
American presence in Afghanistan in 2005? Why then? Did its rulers conclude
that we were fatally distracted by Iraq, or was it some other reason? How did
the Pakistani switch affect the war? Violence began to spike in late 2005, if I
recall correctly -- how direct was the connection?

--How does the war in the north fit into this?

--Why has Herat, the biggest city in the west, been so
quiet? I am surprised because one would think that tensions between the U.S.
and Iran would be reflected at least somewhat in the state of security in
western Afghanistan? Is it not because Ismail Khan is such a stud, and has
managed to maintain good relations with both the Revolutionary Guard and the
CIA? That's quite a feat. 

Anybody got a recommendation on what to read that covers all
this? Maybe articles that explain some of it?
