It doesn't seem surprising that it's portrayed that way, given that it's from a (former) high up member of the military. It's not like failures tend to be popular. There's plenty accounts describing it largely as a failure of the military too. Found the two Afghanistan books by Steve Coll interesting. Certainly not flattering of any group involved.
