#22: Afghanistan and the Taliban with Ethan Sandweiss '19, History

Our host, Amelie Andreas '24, speaks with Ethan Sandweiss '19 about his thesis on Afghanistan entitled "Highway to Hell: Afghanistan, America, and the Fragmented State." Since this episode concerned recent events, this interview focuses a little more on the content of the thesis, and a little less on the experience of writing the thesis, than our interviews usually do. It is also a little bit longer than most episodes.
