The longest war the United States has ever fought is the ongoing war in Afghanistan. But when refer to “Afghanistan,” we really mean a conflict that straddles the border with Pakistan — and the reality of Islamic militancy on that border is enormously complicated. In Talibanistan, an unparalleled group of experts offer a nuanced understanding of this critical region.

Please join the ¹ú²úÊÓƵ Foundation’s National Security Studies Program for a conversation with some of these experts about the militancy and extremism that continue to plague Afghanistan and northwestern Pakistan.
