Assignment Afghanistan

For several weeks last fall, a dusty and dangerous frontier town in Afghanistan was home for Legion Magazine staff writer Adam Day. Armed with a notebook and camera, Day spent his time in Salavat with a platoon of 1st Battalion Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry, deployed in an attempt to secure the town and win the trust of its people. The result of Day’s visit is a series of articles, beginning with Part 1, The Struggle For Salavat. Before we go there, however, we open with a story (Hearts And Minds) by freelance journalist Matthieu Aikins whose travels throughout Afghanistan have given him a perspective on how Afghans view international efforts to bring stability to their country.
