Photographer Aaron Huey shares a look inside Rory Stewart's efforts to save the Old City of Kabul from destruction and remind a nation of its former glory.
Stewart is shown in the Grand Serai with his "Karzai hat." It was the snowy walk that followed this photo that begins our story in the magazine. Also worn by the Aghan president Hamid Karzai, the hat, called a karakuli, is fashioned from an aborted lamb's fetus. —Photographer Aaron Huey
