In “The Finest Hotel in Kabul,” BBC journalist Lyse Doucet tells the story of a country through what was once its most luxurious hotel.

The author provides an absorbing people’s history of Afghanistan through the narration of the history of the Intercontinental Hotel (Inter-Con) in Kabul — from its inauguration in 1969 till date.��

The account of how the hotel ownership and management changed hands during the protracted wars in Afghanistan and people who worked there makes for interesting reading.
