Former NPR Reporter, Foreign Policy Expert In TC
Oct. 9, 2015
Sarah Chayes, a former reporter for National Public Radio who moved to Afghanistan after 9/11 and ultimately became a special advisor to the Chairman of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff, will be in Traverse City this Thurs., Oct. 15, as part of a joint presentation by the National Writers Series and the International Affairs Forum (IAF). Given the disaster unfolding in Kunduz, her visit is particularly timely as she worked closely with the Taliban and will offer her perspective on why some Afghans find the Taliban attractive.
Chayes, whose most recent book is "Thieves of State," will be interviewed by guest host Jack Segal, a retired U.S. diplomat who once worked with Chayes in Afghanistan and now lives in Traverse City. The event begins at 7pm at the City Opera House. Tickets are $15 and available here.
