Danny and Derek welcome back Tim Nunan, lecturer in global history at the Free University of Berlin, to kick off a 10-part series on the history of Afghanistan. In this first episode, they cover the major players in the formation of modern Afghanistan, its interactions with colonial powers, Afghan nationalism, the country’s role in the Cold War, and a number of other topics leading up to the 1978 coup.
