AFGHAN LEGEND
Nancy Dupree (Part I)
American expatriate, adventurer, author, historian and ACKU founder
It’s always both thrilling and humbling to be face to face with a rock star.
That feeling never goes away no matter how many times you do it.
And that’s how I felt when I first met the great Nancy Hatch Dupree, the American expatriate, adventurer, author, historian and founder of the Afghanistan Centre at Kabul University (ACKU). She has dedicated half a lifetime to documenting and preserving Afghanistan's cultural heritage.
Nancy Dupree has been a real-life legend in Afghanistan for 50 years. She moved to Afghanistan in 1962, where she began writing guidebooks on Afghanistan for the newly established Afghan Tourist Organization that quickly became classics.
There she also met and married her late husband, the renowned archaeologist, historian, professor and ex-paratrooper Louis Dupree. They traveled, lived and worked together throughout Afghanistan.... (more)
