The Battle for Afghanistan and Pakistan

Join the New America Foundation for a timely assessment of the threat from al-Qaeda and its allies in Afghanistan and Pakistan with three experts on the subject. Michael Waltz recently returned from a one year tour of duty in eastern Afghanistan with U.S. Special Operations Forces and has served as Special Advisor to Vice President Dick Cheney for South Asia and Counterterrorism at the White House. Shuja Nawaz, a Pakistani political and strategic analyst, is the director of the South Asia Center at the Atlantic Council. Peter Bergen, author and leading al-Qaeda authority, has been researching terrorism for more than two decades.

The New America Foundation will also be releasing several research papers in the “Battle for Pakistan” series, launching the “Battle for Afghanistan” series, and celebrating the one-year anniversary of the AfPak Channel, a unique partnership with Foreign Policy Magazine that has become a premier clearinghouse of news and analysis from and about Afghanistan, Pakistan, and issues of transnational terrorism.
