DESCRIPTIVE. In his work entitled "Reminiscences of a Bengal Civilian," Mr. William Edwards, then AssistantSecretary to the Government of India in the Foreign Department, describes the departure of Amir Dost Mahammad, on the termination of the Afghan war in 1841, to resume his position as ruler of Kabul. "Just before parting," he writes, "the Amir, addressing the Governor-General in Persian, observed: -- I have seen a great deal of your Government since I came to India. Your forts, your arsenals, your ships, all are admirable. I have been down to Calcutta, and havo been astonished with your wealth, your palaces, your marts, and your mint; but to me the most wonderful thing of all is, that so wise and wealthy a nation could have ever entertained the project of occupying such a country as Kabul, where there is nothing but rocks and stones.'" It will be my task to explain, in the pages which follow, the reasons which in past ages have invested, and which in the present hour particularly invest this country of rocks and stones with an importance far beyond its territorial value--an importance so vast that, in the opinion of many, the safety of India depends upon the predominance of British influence in the lands immediately beyond the British frontier. The country inhabited by the Afghans, and known generally as the kingdom of Kabul, is traversed from east to west by the Hindu Kiish, and the prolongation to the westward of that mighty range. The mountains forming the prolongation branch off from the Koh-i-Baba, a lofty range eighty miles in length, and some eighteen thousand feet high, and itself the western continuation of the Hindu Kiish proper. Running westward, the mountains soon break into three parallel...

Book excerpt: History of Afghanistan from the Earliest Period to the Outbreak of the War of 1878 is a political and military history of Afghanistan that was published in London in 1879, shortly after the outbreak of the Second Anglo-Afghan War (1878-80). The author, George Bruce Malleson, was a British army officer and military historian who had served in India and who wrote prolifically on the history of India and Afghanistan. The central theme of the book is the strategic importance to the British Empire of Afghanistan as a buffer against Russian expansion toward India. Malleson explains why Afghanistan, a mountainous "country of rocks and stones," has an importance "far beyond its territorial value." Following an opening chapter on the physical features of the country and the ethnic composition of its population, Malleson recounts the succession of dynasties and leaders through the centuries, from the Ghaznavid Empire (977-1186) to the reign of Dōst Moḥammad Khān (1826-39 and 1842-63). As the narrative approaches Malleson's own day, it becomes unabashedly nationalistic and partisan. The book argues for a forceful policy in which the protection of India against possible Russian threats should take precedence over the views of independence-minded Afghan rulers. Malleson criticizes the policy of Prime Minister William Gladstone and Thomas Baring, Earl of Northbrook, viceroy of India from 1872 to 1876, for attempting to pursue by diplomatic means agreements that would have prevented the Second Anglo-Afghan War. The work was translated into Pushto and published in Peshawar in 1930.

Excerpt: ... powered the new Viceroy to offer to Amir Shir Ali the active countenance and protection which he had previously solicited at the hands of the British Government.* But before the native aide-de-camp selected by Lord Lytton to carry this message of reconciliation could reach Kabul--before even, I may say, Lord Lytton had set foot in India--the fatal rebuff of 1873--coinciding with an adverse decision, pronounced by British officers, on the subject of the Amir's dispute with Persia regarding Sistan; and with the urgent pleadings of the Government of India on behalf of Yakiib Khan--had driven Shir Ali into a condition of irreconcileable hostility towards England. * Lord Cranbrook's despatch to Lord Lytton, 18th November 1878, para. 10: -- "Accordingly, on your Excellency's departure from England to assume the Viceroyalty, her Majesty's Goverument instructed you to offer to Shere Ali that same active countenance and protection which he had previously solicited at the hands of the Indian Government. It was clearly impossible, however, to enter into any formal engagement in this sense without requiring from the Ameer some substantial proof of his unity of interests with the British Government. Whilst her Majesty's Government, therefore, authorised your Excellency to concede to his Highness substantial pecuniary aid, a formal recognition of his dynasty, so far as it would not involve active interference in the internal affairs of Afghanistan, and an explicit pledge of material support in case of unprovoked foreign aggression, you were directed not to incur these heavy reponsibilities unless Shere Ali, on his part, were prepared to allow a British agent, or agents, access to positions in his territories (other than at Cabul itself), where, ...

This book was released on 2005 with total page 524 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since its foundation in 1747, Afghanistan has seen seemingly limitless wars waged by the central government to consolidate its control over the country as well as rampant tribal warfare. There have been three Anglo-Afghan Wars (1839-42, 1878-79 and 1919); a Russian-backed Marxist government in Kabul battled a coalition of tribal armies, which was soon followed by the Taliban takeover. Now, in the midst of a war against terrorism, the United States is backing another central government in yet another sporadic struggle. All the information currently available on the endless chain of wars stretching over two and a half centuries is traced in this book. It consists of the American involvement in Afghanistan since October 2001 as well as individual campaigns, including tactics and logistics of skirmishes, the weapons used, and biographical entries on the significant leaders involved in the battles. Extensive analysis of regional and ideological divisions within the country and the external forces that have brought around conflict in this remote, mountainous region, in addition to a chronology of the encounters, an extensive bibliography, and numerous maps and illustrations make this crucial volume indispensable.
