The Minaret of Djam: An Excursion in Afghanistan.

Rating:
Summary: The most poignant travel account that I have read
Review: Freya Stark had an opportunity to visit this remote archaeological site when it was still possible to travel there. This book is the zenith of her prodigious work in that Afghanistan has always been associated with a remoteness that is difficult to describe. The difficulty of her travel to Ghor Province is a story that she could recount in last years.
