Doug Stanton by Aaron Stander

An outstanding interview with Doug Stanton, author of the of the book "Horse Soldiers". I have worked in the Northwest Province of Pakistan on the border of Afghanistan and the writer brings the region of the story, the people, their customs and history to life. Aaron Stander did an outstanding job in selecting key portions of the story to reflect the overall gist of the message.
