Afghanistan and the Khyber Pass

The Khyber Pass, located on the historically important trade route of the Silk Road, has served as a transit point for countless armies and invaders seeking to conquer and exploit the Indian subcontinent and the riches of the East.

Colonel Karl Frost will cover the fascinating regional history, culture, tribal dynamics, geopolitical climate, and US/NATO presence in the area. The discussion will also highlight some of the successes and challenges met by allied forces currently operating in Afghanistan.

This event is presented by the La Grua Center Art & Culture Series, and is open to the public and free of charge.
