History of the War in Afghanistan, 2 Vols by John William Kaye - 1999

Shubhi Publications, 1999. Hardcover. New. The book is a collection of unpublished letters and Journals of political and military officers employed in Afghanistan throughout the entire period of the war. The author was in India during the period of war, but he never took even the humblest part in any of the events related to war but promises that the work is trustworthy and authentic. In most cases he had in his possession the original letters and documents – in the rest authenticated copies. These volumes basically deal with the political history of the war and are rather deficient in the respect of the military details. The book begins with a chapter on Shah Zemaun the rise and fall of Deurancee empire and covers almost all the events which were witness to the upheaval and bloodshed in the country to the restoration of empire to dost mahomed.
