Probably the definitive account of covert operations in Afghanistan from the 70‘s up until 9/11. If that‘s interesting to you, this is your book.

One of the most tremendous books ever written. I read it over a couple weeks sitting in a turret for a training exercise. Gaddis‘s complete mastery of prose in multiple languages, and themes running as far back as Mithraism in the search for authenticity make it an impressive read. He captures the lives of everyone contained in the book in beautiful detail depicting their various attempts at recognizing authenticity in each other. 10/10.

Yeah I mean, it‘s pretty solid tbh. It‘s not the end of ethics or anything, but virtue ethics is an accessible form of ethics that can slowly bring out the ideas of how to live the good life in anyone. If you‘re into that I guess.
