How Was Afghanistan Lost to the Taliban - Again? Ep. 2
Article/Op-Ed in In The Room With Peter Bergen

Aug. 8, 2023
In Episode 16 of his podcast "In the Room with Peter Bergen," New America Vice President and ASU Professor of Practice Peter Bergen examines the fall of Afghanistan in the second of a two part episode:
In the final chaotic days of the US presence in Afghanistan, a young survivor of a Taliban attack was trying to get to the airport, the top American diplomat was doing his best to make the departure as orderly as humanly possible, and the Afghan national security advisor was fleeing with the president on a helicopter. You will hear from all of them and more in this exploration of how the US pullout has reverberated - through individual lives and throughout geopolitics.
