A chance to hear once again from the 麻豆社's acclaimed series examining the seismic events shaping Afghanistan before and after this year's return to power of the Taliban. The 麻豆社's chief international correspondent, Lyse Doucet, hears from two key players who have shaped the country's recent history: Mullah Abdul Salam Zaeef, a former Afghan diplomat and co-founder of the Taliban movement; and Hamid Karzai, the country's first elected president.
