Marc Grossman, a career ambassador, was called upon by President Barack Obama and then-Secretary of State Hilary Clinton to replace Richard Holbrooke as the U.S. special representative to Afghanistan and Pakistan after Holbrooke's death in 2010. One of Grossman's prime objectives in 2010 and 2011 was to broker peace talks with the Taliban.
Grossman comes to Asia Society Texas Center to present a detailed analysis of his work in the region and what may come next.
