Summary: “The National museum of Afghanistan, which hosts the treasures of this country’s magnificent past, was bombed and seriously damaged in May 1993. Destruction and looting followed for years during the civil war, with heart-breaking losses for present and future generations. The most precious treasures of Kabul museum, its archeological collections, however escaped such fate to some extent, as the museum staff managed to hide some parts of its collections for many troubled years”—back cover.
