History of the War in Afghanistan, Vol. 1 (of 3) / Third Edition

A detailed contemporary narrative traces the political and military unraveling surrounding the deposed Afghan ruler, following his exile, captivity in Kashmir and Lahore, the loss of the Koh-i-noor, and his eventual movement toward British territory. Drawing on letters, official papers, and eyewitness testimony, the work reconstructs diplomacy, military operations, and the actions of commanders and civil agents. Organized in three parts, it combines documentary extracts with explanatory prose to present causes, sequences of campaigns, and the administrative context that shaped events during the conflict.
