Horton's book Fool's Errand: Time to End the War in Afghanistan (2017) is an account of the War in Afghanistan since 2001, which argues that the United States should end its presence in the country.[4] The American Conservative described the work as a "masterful account of America's prolonged Afghan engagement."[5]
