Afghanistan: Tourist Destination of the Future (2/2 people found this helpful)
This is a beautiful book, wonderfully put together and packed full of stories, vignettes, stunning photography and suggestions for tourist itineraries and must-sees.
Sadly, despite the hopes of the authors (who published this book very rapidly after the fall of the Taliban), Afghanistan has not become a natural destination for tourists, and this is not a book that will help those fighting the insurgency to understand the Afghan mind in the way that they need to. It is a tourist guide crossed with a coffee table book, in essence - a nice talking point to bring the conversation around to your walking tour of Herat or time in Kabul, and perhaps a place to start your researches for your holiday.
When, that is, holidays in Afghanistan become a little more possible than they are today.
