About this product
In this evocative social history, BBC Chief International Correspondent Lyse Doucet traces Afghanistan’s turbulent half-century through the lens of Kabul’s iconic Inter-Continental Hotel. By centering the voices of the staff—from the veteran housekeepers to the pioneering female chefs—Doucet reveals a side of the nation rarely seen in headlines: a story of immense resilience, dignity, and survival. It is a powerful, intimate portrait of a building that has stood as a silent witness to coups, invasions, and the enduring spirit of the Afghan people.
