The Crimson Snow
Author: Jules Stewart
Publisher: The History Press
ISBN: 0752476068
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 250
Book Description
In the mid-nineteenth century, the British and Russian Empires played the ‘Great Game,’ a rivalry for supremacy in Central Asia. To secure a ‘buffer zone’ in Afghanistan, between India and Russian territory, Britain launched the First Anglo-Afghan War in 1838. Initial success, including the imposition of a puppet regime supported by too few troops (a situation that has great resonance today), was followed by complete disaster in 1842, with 4,500 soldiers and 12,000 civilian camp followers killed by rebellious Afghans. Only one Briton is known to have escaped the massacre. This compelling story of imperial misadventure is told by Jules Stewart, a former Reuters journalist with considerable experience in the region and a specialist in North-West Frontier history, and has a foreword from General Sir David Richards, Chief of the General Staff and a former NATO commander in Afghanistan. It provides important parallels with our current commitments in this graveyard of ambitions, and illustrates how little has been learnt from the past.
