Afghanistan Through The Humvee Window

 

BOISE, ID -  As troops come home from Iraq, American troops continue to be involved in Afghanistan. A new book  takes readers on a visual journey through the eastern part of that country. “Afghanistan Through the Humvee Window” focuses on people and the landscape. Nampa native Joe Relk took the pictures in 2006 while working as a State Department Officer. He was assigned to a reconstruction team in the Khost province near the border with Pakistan.

 

Joe Relk now serves as a Deputy Political Chief at the U-S embassy in Quito, Ecuador.

As Senior Producer of our live daily talk show Idaho Matters, I’m able to indulge my love of storytelling and share all kinds of information (I was probably a Town Crier in a past life). My career has allowed me to learn something new everyday and to share that knowledge with all my friends on the radio.
