Brett McGurk, point man for the coalition fighting ISIL, joins General (Ret) David Petraeus for an in-depth discussion of the biggest threat to American security.
Highly regarded by his peers in the military and in the administration, he now gives us a full picture of the state of affairs: a review of the progress so far in the offensive against ISIL, and areas where there have been setbacks too; what US strategy is — and should be, going forward; his guess on how long it will take to defeat ISIL; a vision of what the next president will inherit, and an examination of where Putin stands in all of this.
