Lyse Doucet SOLD OUT The Finest Hotel in Kabul
The BBC’s Chief International Correspondent traces five decades of Afghanistan’s dramatic recent history through the story of Kabul’s Inter-Continental Hotel, and offers a vivid and deeply humane window into the life of ordinary Afghans. When the Hotel opened in 1969, it reflected the hopes of the country. Now it’s a dilapidated, shrapnel damaged shell. But its decaying grandeur still hints at ordinary Afghans’ hopes of stability and prosperity.
