Come with award-winning author and veteran journalist Joshua Hammer to the ancient Afghan city of Bamiyan, where the Taliban destroyed two giant standing Buddhas. There he finds archaeologist Zemaryalai Tarzi in search of a third Buddha – this one 1,400 year old and 1,000 feet long - that he believes lies buried beneath the same cliffs. Will Tarzi find his lost Buddha, one of archeology’s greatest mysteries?
