Radio: The Afghan Question
New special on NPR's "To the Best of Our Knowledge" discussing Afghanistan:
Ahmed Rashid says that the U.S. rushed into Afghanistan but was never interested in the country’s real problems. Craig Mullaney led an infantry rifle platoon along the hostile border between Afghanistan and Pakistan. David Kilcullen feels that the problem with traditional counter-insurgency efforts is that they don’t protect local people. Robert Greenwald is the Director of the on-going, on-line documentary called “Rethink Afghanistan.”

New Discussion Guides
Tuesday, May 5, 2009
I asked a team of friends with experience teaching and leading discussion groups to write this set of discussion questions to accompany the book. Additionally, there is a separate set of questions designed for military leaders written by a recently returned 82nd Airborne company commander to guide discussions among cadets, midshipmen, company-grade officers, and NCOs.
For those of you have read the book, I hope this gives you a way to get more out of the text and to share the experience with your friends, colleagues, or classrooms this summer and fall. There's also a sign-up page to request a telephone or video conference call with me and your group.
