A proposito di questo titolo

In 1838, the ancient city of Herat became the fulcrum of a geopolitical crisis that nearly triggered a full-scale war between Britain and Persia. This episode follows the extraordinary siege led by the Persian shah, Mohammad Shah Qajar, and his British-trained army—a campaign that pitted a young British officer, Eldred Pottinger, against his own mentors. We explore the tangled web of the Great Game, the role of the Sikh Empire under Ranjit Singh, and the fateful decisions that pushed Afghanistan closer to the First Anglo-Afghan War. Along the way, we meet a Persian vizier who was secretly a British agent, a city that had already been sacked by Tamerlane, and a legendary Afghan defender named Yar Mohammad Khan Alakozai. The siege of Herat reveals how Afghanistan's fate has always been shaped by foreign powers—and by the resilience of its people.
