KAYE, John William. History of The War In Afghanistan. Third Edition. London: Wm. H. Allen & Co. 1874.

Three volumes, 8vo. Original pictorial cloth; pp. xviii, 502; viii, 442; viii, 469, 34 (publisher's list of books), [2, publisher's list of maps]; viii, 442; restorations to bindings, apart from light internal spotting, overall internally a pleasant set, rarely found in the original binding, contemporary ownership inscriptions to front fly-leaves.

Based on the largely revised 1857 edition (first, 1851). The First Anglo-Afghan War began in early 1839 when the British undertook an invasion of Afghanistan from India with the aim of overthrowing the Afghan ruler, Amir Dost Mohammad Khan, and replacing him with the supposedly pro-British former ruler, Shuja Shah Durrani. The British were at first successful. They installed Shuja Shah as ruler in Jalalabad and forced Dost Mohammad to flee the country. But in 1841 Dost Mohammad returned to Afghanistan to lead an uprising against the invaders and Shuja Shah in one of the most disastrous defeats in British military history, in January 1842 an Anglo-Indian force of 4,500 men and thousands of followers was routed by Afghan tribesmen. The British then sent a larger force from India to exact retribution and to recover hostages, before finally withdrawing in October 1842. Of course important edisodes of Sikh history are covered as well as Shuja Shah had been in possession of the Koh-i-Noor, and Runjit Singh 'accquired' it under similar circumstances as the British did later.

"Deals with the period 1800-1842, with accounts of the Treaty of Goolistan, the siege of Herat; the army of the Indus; the Russian expedition of Khiva; the evacuation of the Balla Hissar; the retreat from Caubul; the effects of the victories; the Manifesto of 1842, etc." (Yakushi).

An important book..
This book is much more than just a book about the other realm with pretty pictures in it. Within it is a wealth of timeless information that stretches beyond the scope of angelic/devic/nature spirits. I was expecting a book focused on descriptions of beings with pictures....and it does contain that information, but it also has SO much more. It is truly worth reading.
