My new book, “After We Kill You, We Will Welcome You Back as Honored Guests: Embedded in Afghanistan” comes out in two weeks! (I am SO going to regret choosing that long title.) I’m getting ready to do a series of discussions and book signings all over the United States during September, October and November, and in preparation I have been going through photos of my 2010 trip. That’s when I found this beauty:
It’s the courtyard of the empty wedding banquet hall where we stayed in Taliban-controlled Taloqan, in Takhar Province near the Tajikistani border.
Freedom, you see isn’t free – there’s a terrible price to pay in terms of taste.
