Lyse doucet
the finest hotel in kabul
In conversation with Manveen Rana
Following in the finest traditions of a generation of international journalists, we have been seeing the BBC's Chief International Correspondent Lyse Doucet - for good or ill - on our television screens an almost nightly basis in recent times. She has now turned her experience into a book as seen through the revolving doors of The Inter-Continental Hotel in Kabul.
The Intercontinental has been standing for fifty years. It has endured Soviet occupation, multiple coups, a grievous civil war, a US invasion, and the rise, fall and rise again of the Taliban. Lyse Doucet, the BBC's Chief International Correspondent, has been checking into the Inter-Continental since 1988. In her new book she uses it to craft a richly immersive history of modern Afghanistan.
