YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Partlow served as The Washington Post’s Kabul bureau chief from 2009 to 2012, work for which he shared the 2010 Overseas Press Club award for best reporting from abroad. His book offers a detailed analysis of the extended American involvement in Afghanistan by tracing the history of U.S. relations with the Karzai family. Moderates, the Karzais allied with the West after 9/11 to remove the Taliban from power. But as mistakes and misunderstandings frayed the initial partnership, tensions grew between the two countries and among the Karzai brothers.
