SUMMARY:Veteran Book Talk – The Hardest Place: The American Military Adri
 ft in Afghanistan's Pech Valley
DESCRIPTION:Wesley Morgan first visited the Pech in 2010\, as a college stu
 dent embedded with U.S. military units as a freelance journalist. His meti
 culously researched book\,The Hardest Place: The American Military Adrift 
 in Afghanistan's Pech Valley\, functions as both a first-hand account of a
  rugged battlespace and a detailed history of the interactions between the
  Pech River Valley’s residents and the foreign soldiers\, terrorist grou
 ps\, and Taliban that passed through. The Hardest Place documents a missio
 n that came to epitomize the dysfunction\, unclear objectives\, and missio
 n creep of America’s two-decade war in Afghanistan.  Join a discussion w
 ith the author that delves into the experiences and dysfunctions of the U.
 S. mission in Afghanistan. He will be joined by Dan Berschinski who served
  as a U.S. Army officer in Afghanistan’s Arghandab River Valley in Kanda
 har province. The conversation will be moderated by QI’s Adam Weinstein 
 who served as a U.S. Marine in Afghanistan’s Uruzgan province.
