Author, journalist, and war correspondent Doug Wissing is writing a biography of Hoosier Benjamin C. Evans, Jr., one of the most powerful men in Washington spanning the presidencies of Lyndon Johnson through Ronald Reagan. Before this project, Wissing spent several stints embedded with US Army combat soldiers in Afghanistan, experiences that resulted in two books, “Funding the Enemy” and “Hopeless but Optimistic.” Wissing calls Afghanistan a failed war. He talks about the effects of the longest war in American history, as he joins Big Talk’s Michael Glab.
