Betrayal of Command: My Marine Corps Journey (Afghanistan 2001-2004) Through War, Betrayal and the High Cost of Failed Military Leadership


Overview

Betrayal of Command: A Marine's Fight for Honor in the Age of Hypocrisy When loyalty collides with truth, leadership is tested not on the battlefield-but in the boardrooms of power. Lieutenant Colonel Asad ""Genghis"" Khan, USMC (Ret.) was not born into the U.S. Marine Corps. He earned his place through grit, faith, and an unshakable belief in the values that defined it: honor, courage, and commitment. From a boyhood in the tribal mountains of Pakistan to commanding Marines across the Middle East and South Asia, his story embodies the American ideal-until that same institution turned on one of its own. Betrayal of Command exposes what happens when courage becomes inconvenient. With the precision of a Marine and the reflection of a scholar, Khan reveals the hidden wars within the war-the moral compromises, political maneuvering, and quiet decay of accountability that corroded the integrity of America's longest conflict. From CENTCOM's strategic war rooms in Tampa to the chaos of Afghanistan's Uruzgan Province, Khan recounts how flawed assumptions, manipulated metrics, and careerism at the top cost lives and eroded trust. His is a firsthand chronicle of what it means to lead with conviction when doing so threatens everything you've built. Beyond a war memoir, this is a moral reckoning-a rare insider's look at the human cost of institutional betrayal and the price of truth in a culture that rewards silence. Readers will discover: Unfiltered insights into Marine Corps and CENTCOM leadership decisions The tension between faith, duty, and identity in post-9/11 America How modern warfare is shaped as much by politics as by courage A powerful call to restore honor and accountability in military leadership If you've ever wondered what really happened behind the headlines of the War on Terror-or how a warrior's code survives betrayal-Betrayal of Command will leave you questioning what leadership truly means in the modern age. For readers of: About Face by David Hackworth Once a Warrior by Jake Wood Lying to Ourselves by Leonard Wong and Stephen Gerras The Kill Chain by Christian Rose Dereliction of Duty by H. R. McMaster
