Jonathan D Greenberg: Afghanistan Remembered November 13, 2009

Whereas most reporting covering Afghanistan has focused on the events since September 11 or, at the earliest, since the Soviet occupation of the 1980s, Jonathan Greenburg shares his unique insights into life in Afghanistan as it was prior to those years. Having served as a Peace Corps volunteer in the remote village of Garmser in Helmand Province, three hours southwest of Kandahar from 1968-1970, during the monarchy, Greenburg has a fascinating portrayal to reveal of a country very different from that which we encounter today.
