Moke Hill READS:  next meeting Tuesday November 1, 7 PM, Moke Hill Library/Archive

Book: Whisky, Tango, Foxtrot (The Taliban Shuffle), by Kim Barker.

Memoir of a journalist in post 9/11 Afghanistan and Pakistan.  As Barker grows from awkward newbie to seasoned reporter, she offers an insider’s account of the region’s “forgotten war” at a time when all eyes were turned to Iraq. Candid, self-deprecating, and laugh-out-loud funny, Barker shares both her affection for the absurdities of these two hapless countries and her fear for their future stability.
