Nicholas Schmindle at the WorldAffairs Council 9 15 2009

The World Affairs Council is pleased to co-sponsor a Marines Memorial event with journalist Nicholas Schmidle to discuss the most recent and turbulent period of Pakistans history. In February 2006 Schmidle traveled to Pakistan hoping to learn more about the place dubbed the most dangerous country in the world. After spending two years covering Pakistan and being deported twice by the Pakistani authorities for his reporting, his observations provide a contemporary history of this country at a time when President Pervez Musharrafs power was waning and the Talibans was growing, and when Americans began to realize that Pakistans fate is inextricably linked with our own. A fellow at the New America Foundation, Schmidle writes for The New York Times Magazine, The New Republic, and Smithsonian, and received the Kurt Schork Award for freelance journalism in 2008.
