We Answered the Call: Building the Crown Jewel of Afghanistan by Col. James Wilhite, USA, Ret., Professor Emeritus, Northeastern State University, College of Education and volunteer Angel Flight pilot.
Given the mission to build a four year university in Kabul, Afghanistan, with no money and no budget, Col. Wilhite began a task that would change the shape of Higher Education for many years to come. He will sell and autograph books about his mission, Operation Enduring Freedom, after the program.
Coffee and sandwiches available.
