About this audiobook
During his surprise Thanksgiving trip to Afghanistan, President Trump
announced he had restarted talks with the Taliban. The ability of the
conflict-wracked nation to achieve peace is at stake -- but so is progress
for women, who could not work, study or even leave home unescorted under
Taliban rule. Special correspondent Jane Ferguson reports on the outlook
for women's health and education there.
