• Fareed Zakaria: “This week's "Book of the Week" is by Rory Stewart, a British Member of Parliament and author who famously walked across Afghanistan in the winter of 2001. He's also a frequent GPS guest. Roy Stewart and co-author Gerald Knaus have written a book called "Can Intervention Work," they look at the lessons learned in Bosnia and how those lessons were applied or misapplied in Iraq and Afghanistan. Both countries that Rory should know very well. A very interesting and timely book.”
