The Authors

Following their news story for CBS, they produced a PBS documentary and returned to Kabul for ABC Nightline in 1983. Starting in 1992 through 1995 they worked on the film version of their experience under contract to Oliver Stone. In 1998 they started collaborating with Afghan human rights expert Sima Wali. In 2002 they filmed and produced a documentary about Wali’s first return to Kabul since her exile in 1978.  Invisible History: Afghanistan’s Untold Story (2009 – AmazonCity Lights) and Crossing Zero: The AfPak War at the Turning Point of American Empire (2011 – AmazonCity Lights) were published by City Lights.  The Voice, an esoteric adventure story, was published in 2001.

Praise for The Valediction

  • “Few outsiders have been engaged with Afghanistan for as long as Gould and Fitzgerald, and few have learned more about the hidden side of America’s long misadventure there.  The Valediction is a wild ride through the underside of the American war and propaganda machines.  It does not tell the story of the Afghan War that appeared in our news media, but something very different and immensely valuable: the real story.”

    –Stephen Kinzer, author of Overthrow: America’s Century of Regime Change from Hawaii to Iraq, Poisoner in Chief: Sidney Gottlieb and the CIA Search for Mind Control and The Brothers: John Foster Dulles, Allen Dulles, and Their Secret World
