“Farrukh Husain captures an aspect of Afghan history others have failed to find. His narrative is rich in citations from both Afghan and British archives, which he has painstakingly researched, recreating the story of imperial Britain’s ill-fated attempt to control Afghanistan in the mid-19th century. In their own words, the key protagonists are brought to life, their thoughts and actions illustrating the complexities of retaining power in this troubled region, the cultural and political issues they faced resonating in the present day.” –Victoria Schofield ; “This book is a treasure of images as well as insights” –Nancy Hatch Dupree”—back cover.
