#226: The British in Afghanistan
Manage episode 433722677 series 2201517
The catastrophic attacks of 9/11 led to successful US-led military effort to overthrow the Taliban regime and dismantle al-Qaeda’s terrorism training camps in Afghanistan. Britain took the lead in creating the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) to stabilise the country and support the new government. Why did the ISAF mission fail, and what are the wider lessons from the Afghanistan war for security in the Asia-Pacific.
Guest: Professor Theo Farrell (Vice-Chancellor, La Trobe University)
Author of Unwinnable: Britain’s War in Afghanistan published by Penguin Books.
