Ahmed Rashid Descent into Chaos: The United States and the Failure of Nation Building in Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Central Asia
Tuesday, October 14, 6.30 7.45 p.m.
With special host Gideon Rose, managing editor of Foreign Affairs
Ahmed Rashid is an author and journalist based in Lahore, Pakistan. His books include Taliban: Militant Islam, Oil, and Fundamentalism (2000) and Jihad: The Rise of Militant Islam in Central Asia (2002). He was awarded the Nisar Osmani award for courage in journalism by the human rights society of Pakistan in 2001.
Rashid examines Pakistan, Afghanistan, and the corridors of power in Washington and Europe to see how nation building in the region has progressed. His observations are devastating: an unstable and nuclear-armed Pakistan, a renewed al Qaeda, and a Taliban resurgence. While Iraq attracts more American media attention and military might, Rashid argues that Pakistan and Afghanistan pose a graver threat to global security than the Middle East.
