Associated Press and New Yorker writer Kathy Gannon delivers an intimately observed history of Afghanistan from 1986 to the present.

The longest-serving Western Journalist in the region, Gannon overturns simplistic understanding of the country's politics in this eye-opening talk.

Gannon also touches on how the US keeps repeating the same mistakes, and the deliberate misinformation about Afghanistan & the Taliban by our media and government.
