Retreat from Kabul : the catastrophic British defeat in Afghanistan, 1842

"Folly and cowardice marked the story of the First Afghan War, but there was great herosim too, and astonishing endurance. The life of the British in the India of the early nineteenth century may not have been naty or brutish but it was certainly apt to be short."--Preface
