"(Kabul) is a man’s town with a woman’s passion for brooding,
ruthless, restless, jealous suspicion; where contagious intrigue poisons social
intercourse, and malicious gossip flies from the old bazaar to the Kabul Court
and finds its way to every foreign residence and back again then to the old
bazaar; where espionage and counterespionage haunt each individual, and the
unsuspecting new arrival soon learns to suspect even his closest colleague of
deceit and wild duplicity.”
Ernest F. Fox, “Travels in Afghanistan: 1937-1938,” 1943
