#About the event
Duration: 60 minutes
Australia’s military involvement in Afghanistan began in September 2001 in response to 9/11. What followed was a protracted war costing thousands of Afghani lives, only to result in the fall of Kabul to the Taliban in 2021. As part of Australia's war effort, hundreds of elite SAS soldiers were deployed to a nation that has experienced conflict for generations. Join award winning journalist Mark Willacy discuss his latest book Rogue Forces, examining the uncivilising impacts of war and one of the darkest chapters in Australia's military history.
