The Result of 20 Years
Episode 5
Sunday, 12 September, 2021
On 30 August, the U.S. completed its withdrawal from Afghanistan, marking the end of an occupation that lasted for 20 years. Despite two decades of military involvement, the country fell to the Taliban in a matter of weeks, signalling a major tactical failure by the U.S. and a dangerous new era for Afghanistan. Many thanks to this episode's guest: Michael Butler, professor of political science at Clark University.
