La guerra de Charlie Wilson es la increíble historia real de cómo un excéntrico congresista de Texas y un resentido agente de la CIA conspiraron para lanzar la más grande y exitosa operación encubierta de la historia de Estados Unidos, la cobertura ilimitada a la guerrilla muyahidín en su lucha contra el ejército soviético que invadía Afganistán; es el tierno relato de cómo una gran dama texana ultraconservadora convence a un congresista filojudío, aficionado al «whisky», las mujeres y al descaro ante los escándalos, para que se vuelque con la causa afgana; es el turbio reflejo de cómo operaba la CIA antes y después de que entrara en juego un marginado agente que estiró las normas de la Agencia hasta límites nunca vistos. Como dijo Jimmy Carter, Afganistán fue la última gran batalla de la Guerra Fría pero ha pemanecido como un episodio velado en la memoria reciente de la política mundial

La guerra de Charlie Wilson ofrece las claves imprescindibles para entender la mezcla de espontaneidad, multicefalia y estado de excepción de la política en Estados Unidos, pero, sobre todo, para entender dos de los fenómenos más importantes de nuestro tiempo, el colapso de la Unión Soviética y paradójicamente, el rearme y militarización de fundamentalismo islámico que ha desembocado, entre otros hechos, en el mayor ataque interior sufrido por Estados Unidos, el fatídico 11 de septiembre de 2001.
