Wasn't entirely intentional, but before returning to New York last year, I spent the previous seven in Asia, living and working throughout the continent and the Middle East as a staff writer and correspondent for Time and then later freelancing for National Geographic, National Geographic Adventure, New York, Slate, and Conde Nast Traveler, among others. I think I had a good view--closer than might have been wise at some points--at the post 9-11 world and the impact of globalization, terror, war, and the foreign policies of various nations. Hindsight shows that much of the script for the last decade was written in places that got little notice. Likewise, there are things happening in other places now that may well influence what happens in the future. Those places, for the most part, will be the subject of Brush Fires. Thanks for tuning in.

Story newly out in Fortune Magazine, a profile of Afghanistan’s Minister of Counternarcotics, what his office, and the fact that he’s in it, tells us about the Afghan government and the challenges ahead for the Obama administration there. Accompanied by photos and video by Ben Lowy.
Recently awarded an Ochberg Fellowship from the Dart Center for Journalism and Trauma, an organization focused on the coverage of traumatic situations and the effects of covering such things. I’m grateful to the Dart Center for this.
