In each travelogue, journalist, and intrepid adventurer Daniela Zavala immerses herself with ceaseless curiosity into exotic cultures and dangerous destinations that can only be comprehended with an open mind, easiness and never-ending inquisitiveness. Since 1997, Daniela has visited solo over 70 countries without fear or prejudice, exploring places that most people wouldn't dare to go or might not even know about. In this edition, Daniela ventures to Iran just a few months after the controversial 2009's presidential election. This land rich in culture has been polemic and feared by the Western world. But, how is the Islamic Republic really like? What's in the mind of the average Iranian? Daniela's experience brings you closer to this fascinating and so-talked about nation. 517 $aDiaries of an Adventurer 606 $aAdventure travel$7Generated by AI 606 $aTravel writing$7Generated by AI 615 0$aAdventure travel 615 0$aTravel writing 700 $aZavala$b Daniela$01436414 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910163065503321 996 $aDiaries of an Adventurer: Iran$93595112 997 $aUNINA LEADER 04645nam 22007095 450 001 9911031639003321 005 20251006134707.0 010 $a3-031-95264-2 024 7 $a10.1007/978-3-031-95264-7 035 $a(CKB)41571833800041 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC32331369 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL32331369 035 $a(DE-He213)978-3-031-95264-7 035 $a(EXLCZ)9941571833800041 100 $a20251006d2025 u| 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur||||||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aAnglo-Afghan Power and Politics, 1893-1947 $eThe Durand Line Unmasked /$fby Nabi Sahak 205 $a1st ed. 2025. 210 1$aCham :$cSpringer Nature Switzerland :$cImprint: Palgrave Macmillan,$d2025. 215 $a1 online resource (491 pages) 225 1 $aHistory Series 311 08$a3-031-95263-4 327 $a1.

In the literature dealing with the dispute, the Pashtun view has been missing. Now, at last, Nabi Sahak has filled this gap in an original book of real authority. We should all be in his debt." ? James Mayall, Emeritus Professor of International Relations, University of Cambridge "The first comprehensive study of the making of the Durand Line, which has marked one of the great geopolitical fractures of the world since the nineteenth century, Sahak's book makes use of hitherto unknown Afghan sources to give a wholly original account of this crucial boundary. It will be of interest to historians as well as policymakers." ? Faisal Devji, Professor of Indian History, University of Oxford The Durand Line, an enduring symbol of colonial imposition dividing British India and Afghanistan since 1893, and Afghanistan and Pakistan since 1947, fuels relentless regional instability and geopolitical strife. This book amplifies silenced Afghan voices and shatters long-held imperial narratives with new historical evidence. Through groundbreaking analysis, the author?s research uncovers the Durand Line's unlawful and unscrupulous beginnings, its deliberately skewed history, and its unceasing, devastating human consequences, laying bare a persistent legacy of colonial injustice. By exposing untold truths, this book forges essential pathways toward genuine reconciliation, making it an essential read for scholars of South Asian history and the British Empire. Nabi Sahak is an independent researcher based in the USA. A former BBC reporter, Rotary Peace Fellow, and Fulbright Scholar, Nabi has studied at George Mason University in the USA, the University of Queensland in Australia, and King's College London in the UK. 410 0$aHistory Series 606 $aAsia$xHistory 606 $aSecurity, International 606 $aInternational relations$xHistory 606 $aImperialism 606 $aGreat Britain$xHistory 606 $aWorld politics 606 $aHistory of South Asia 606 $aInternational Security Studies 606 $aDiplomatic and International History 606 $aImperialism and Colonialism 606 $aHistory of Britain and Ireland 606 $aPolitical History 615 0$aAsia$xHistory. 615 0$aSecurity, International. 615 0$aInternational relations$xHistory. 615 0$aImperialism. 615 0$aGreat Britain$xHistory. 615 0$aWorld politics. 615 14$aHistory of South Asia. 615 24$aInternational Security Studies. 615 24$aDiplomatic and International History. 615 24$aImperialism and Colonialism. 615 24$aHistory of Britain and Ireland. 615 24$aPolitical History. 676 $a954 700 $aSahak$b Nabi$01851482 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9911031639003321 996 $aAnglo-Afghan Power and Politics, 1893-1947$94445279 997 $aUNINA
