In 2004, New Hampshire residents Fred and Mary Hartman gave up their comfortable lives practicing medicine in New Hampshire for an opportunity to work in Afghanistan helping to rebuild the country's health care system. Their book "Window on Afghanistan" recounts their adventures of living in there for the next two and a half years... the beauty of the country's vast landscape, the incredible spirit and hospitality of its people, the realties of a country with the one of highest newborn death rates and poorest health systems in the world and the ever increasing dangers of everyday life there. We’ll hear their stories - from the country's first Parliamentary elections to their close calls of kidnappings and suicide bombers. Laura's guests are Fred and Mary Hartman authors of "Window on Afghanistan: Rebuilding Health, Hope and the Human Spirit"
