Danny and Derek welcome back Tim Nunan, lecturer in global history at the Free University of Berlin, for the third episode on Afghanistan's history. They pick up at the collapse of the Soviet Union, the start of the Afghan Civil War, and go into particular detail on the Taliban—their ascendance in the mid-90s, ideology, patrons, relationships with foreign powers and the Afghan people, and more.
