Description
On August 15th, 2021, Afghanistan's nation shifted back to its Eastern orientation, with the Taliban reasserting control over Kabul after twenty years of foreign occupation. British university student Lord Miles Routledge found himself caught up in this pivotal moment.
As one of the last tourists issued a visa by the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan, Miles began chronicling his travels on an online message board, captivating a global audience with his account of life in one of the world's most dangerous countries. His story gained international attention as the Taliban approached Kabul, and he eventually made it back home.
This book is Lord Miles Routledge's first-hand account of his journey to Afghanistan, where he experienced a kaleidoscope of natural beauty, war-torn desolation, poverty, humanity, courage, and generosity. His story offers an invigorating glimpse into the complexities of this fascinating country and its people.
