Description: 

Ambassador Jonathan Addleton, a retired USAID Foreign Service Officer, joins us to discuss his new book, The Dust of Kandahar: A Diplomat Among Warriors in Afghanistan.

The Dust of Kandahar represents a unique contribution to USNI’s growing number of books on the conflict in Afghanistan, largely because it views events primarily from a civilian perspective. Attached to the Third Infantry Division based in Kandahar during its year-long deployment in southern Afghanistan, the author served as a link between the Embassy in Kabul and military leaders in Regional Command-South (RC-South). He was also heavily involved in outreach aimed at Afghan government officials, tribal and religious leaders and others during a time of transition marked by a significant drawdown in the size of the international military presence across the country.

Copies of the book will be available for sale for $20; cash (exact change please) and credit cards will be accepted.
