Abstract
This chapter discusses U.S. efforts of reconciliation with the Taliban. Starting in late 2010, U.S. government officials regularly met with Taliban representatives to facilitate confidence-building measures such as detainee exchanges and the opening of a Taliban office in Doha office. Meanwhile, tensions grew between the U.S. government and Karzai, who rejected and felt blind-sided by these talks.
