Description: Canadian journalist Heidi Kingstone lived in Kabul between 2007 and 2011. Her memoir is replete with idealists and chancers, gunrunners and warlords. She interviewed generals and partied with powerbrokers and fashionistas. Her account of the last years of ISAF-controlled Kabul is vividly atmospheric, deeply personal and at times shockingly painful.
