Descriere

In the 1960s and 70s Afghanistan was depicted in the media as the romantic haven of nomads and a resort for hashish--smoking hippies; in the 80s it was seen as a country where brave warriors fought against the a evila Soviet empire, and in the 90s redrawn as a semi--feudal land ruled by warlords and Islamic fundamentalists.
