Description

The First Afghan War by Mowbray Morris is a concise account of Britain's first conflict in Afghanistan. This little-known chapter in British history explores how the country became a focal point for foreign armies, particularly those from the British Empire, as they expanded into the Indian sub-continent. In 1839, the British seriously engaged with the Afghans for the first time by marching into their country. The occupation of Kabul was short-lived, and the 'peace' in 1842 proved inconclusive. This early conflict set a pattern that would be repeated throughout several wars and troubles involving British soldiers in Afghanistan. This book provides a direct overview of the First Afghan War, highlighting uncomfortable parallels between this inhospitable region in the early nineteenth century and its relevance almost two centuries later.
