Casey Michel shines a light on Americans lobbying for foreign governments in Washington, in many cases representing brutally repressive regimes and countries that oppose U.S. interests.

Michel's new book is.

Today marks the three-year anniversary of Taliban fighters retaking Afghanistan's capital, Kabul. It also marks the beginning of the end of America's nearly two-decade-long military presence in the country. Over the next few weeks across NPR, we'll be hearing from different voices to mark this historic moment. This morning, we focus on the people still trying to get out. You may remember those harrowing and chaotic scenes three years ago of people clinging to U.S. military aircraft to try to leave the country as the Taliban took control. So what's the situation today? To discuss this, we're joined now by Shawn VanDiver. He's a military veteran and the founder and president of AfghanEvac, a nonprofit that helps people from Afghanistan resettle in America. Good morning, Shawn, and welcome to the program.
