The Afghan Wars 1839-1919 by T. A. Heathcote. From the blurb: 'T.A. Heathcote departs from the Eurocentric approach of most British military historians and sets the causes and events of the Anglo-Afghan wars firmly in their Asian context. Afghan Wars 1839–1919 is as much a political as a military history. Using previously unpublished official dispatches and private letters as well as existing histories, this book was the first work by a British academic to tell the story of all three Anglo-Afghan conflicts in a single, accessible volume. It remains essential reading for anyone with an interest in the study of warfare in on of the world’s most hostile environments, now once again a focus of international attention.' Well illustrated. Hardcover. 224pp.
Fine in a fine dustjacket.
