In this interview Matt Crawford speaks with author Wesley Morgan about his book, The Hardest Place. This is an exhaustively researched and compellingly written account of the American war experience in the Pech Valley. A microcosm of the war itself, Morgan fuses reporting embed trips, hundreds of interviews from the American and Afghan perspective to detail The Pech Valley experience. This is a complex topic with a lot of moving parts, but Morgan's accounting and writing style makes it easy to digest and impossible to put down.
