Afghanistan Before the Revolution, the Russians, the Wars and the Taliban

Afghanistan before the Revolution, the Russians, the Wars and the Taliban
In the late Sixties and Seventies Afghanistan become a mecca for Western travellers. Traveller and rug hunter Tom Cole has spent many years wandering the East, taking pictures and recording his thoughts. 'Afghanistan before the Revolution' tells of a lost era, when Afghanistan was the cultural epicentre of Asia. In Part One of an ongoing photographic essay the author sets the scene and recalls the Friday afternoon dog fights which were once a weekly feature of life in Kabul.
