What is the situation like in Afghanistan today? From 1997-2002, Sarah Chayes served as an overseas NPR correspondent, reporting from the Balkans and Paris.

Sarah Chayes will join us this hour to discuss the complex and often difficult cultural environment in post-Taliban Afghanistan as detailed in her book “The Punishment of Virtue: Inside Afghanistan after the Taliban” (Penguin, 2006).
