From Herat to Tehran

ÊEmpires, Kingdoms, nation states and even minorities (ethnic or otherwise) enjoy varying degrees of attention in the history of mankind. The same is not always true of the categories of people we refer to as "refugees" or "immigrants". Yet, every war, revolution or upheaval produces huge numbers of them. Among other things, From Herat to Tehran tries to redress this imbalance. It is more than a novel.
