Rory Stewart is an experienced diplomat and has knowledge of both the language and history of Afghanistan. Make what you will from this two part historical documentary but please, please ignore the previous reviews of it as they are total and utter right wing crap that somehow imagine the US has been a success in Afghanistan. Just look at the facts. it's enough to say the Taliban is resurgent after the loss of so many lives, but to lamely justify the simple crass objectives against the loss of life is an insult to those American soldiers who gave EVERYTHING for NOTHING, just like British soldiers have across the centuries.
