Jonathan Lee: What is Afghanistan? (Part 2) Drinking Blood (E47)

Dr Jonathan L. Lee is a social and cultural historian and a leading authority on the history of Afghanistan. He lived in Afghanistan and travelled widely across the country for many years.


He is the author of The Journals of Edward Stirling in Persia and Afghanistan, 1828-1829, The Ancient Supremacy: Bukhara, Afghanistan and the Battle for Balkh, 1731-1901, Amazing Wonders of Afghanistan, and Afghanistan: A History from 1260 to the Present.


In this second part, we continue the conversation on who founded the country and the state, who named the country and drew its borders, the role of the British Empire in this process, the role of women in the country’s history, and the extraordinary story of the woman who wanted to drink her son’s blood over an inheritance dispute.
