(Zoom) June 28, 2026 – 7 pm EST (Zoom only): THE COLD WAR CONVERSATIONS LECTURE SERIES : THE RIGHTEOUS ARROWS, Speaker Brian J. Morra will talk about his latest book, The Righteous Arrows, that tells a very important story about how the Soviet War in Afghanistan laid the groundwork for the rise of militant Islam, including the Taliban and al Qaeda. It’s a tale of a war with unintended consequences for all the parties to the conflict. The Afghan War helped to topple the teetering Soviet Union, it created a founding myth for modern, radical Islam, and it imbued Washington with a sense of invincibility in the region. There are also parallels between the Soviet adventure in Afghanistan and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Both countries were invaded when they began to lean away from Moscow. Both countries are considered by Moscow to be important buffer states. There is a modest $20 charge for tickets to attend these presentations. For tickets go to: https://www.zeffy.com/en-US/ticketing/cold-war-conversation-presentation-series-lecture-the-righteous-arrows.
