Senior Fellow and retired Lieutenant General H.R. McMaster discusses the origins and evolution of the Hoover Afghanistan Research & Relief Team (HART), established in the wake of the chaotic US military withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2021, when the Taliban swept to power. McMaster describes how a program that began as an emergency initiative to support and fill gaps in the US government’s efforts to evacuate refugees transitioned to collect and preserve historical materials on the war in Afghanistan, including oral histories, at the Hoover Institution Library & Archives.
