      abstract = {This book explores how endangered local interpreters in  Afghanistan were seen through Western eyes in the period  from 2014, when the West drew down the bulk of its military  forces, to the summer of 2021, when NATO forces withdrew  completely. The author examines how these interpreters were  understood and represented by Western governments,  militaries, agencies, press and lobby organisations, how  the understandings changed over time, and to what extent  the representations reflect distinct rationales for  intervention/historic relationships with Afghanistan,  specific immigration and anti-terrorism policies, and  notions of citizenship. The book will be of interest to  students and scholars of translation and interpreting,  history, war studies, and migration studies. Hilary Footitt  is an Associate Fellow of the Institute of Languages,  Cultures and Societies, School of Advanced Study,  University of London, UK.},
