The latest issue of Modern War, from Strategy and Tactics press, covers the conflicts within Kandahar region from mid 90's to 2015.
It is limited in scope to a synopsis of strategic objectives, with some limited operational background info, of first the Taliban then NATO forces following 9/11; it gives good credit to the work of Canadian Forces, and the limited resources available to the Battle Group, especially during the campaign ~2006.
There is an article only and a full version of the magazine, the latter includes a war game; see link for overview of the game design

The magazine also includes articles on:
- the hill battles of Khe Sanh, and the USMC inability to adopt it's own lessons learned
- Algerian COIN and the causes of French Army mutinies of the late 50's and early 60's
- North Yemen civil war
- Cold War experimentation
- Cold War Strategic Ground Based Air Defence
Not a bad quick holiday read, and at least cues you to other more detailed sources of information if you have an interest in the topics
