Book excerpt: This book is a brief account, written for a popular audience, of the First Anglo-Afghan War, published in 1878, the year that marked the start of the Second Anglo-Afghan War (1878-80). The First Anglo-Afghan War began in late 1838 when the British launched an invasion of Afghanistan from India with the aim of overthrowing the Afghan ruler, Amir Dōst Moḥammad Khān, and replacing him with the supposedly pro-British former ruler, Shāh Shujāʻ. The British were at first successful. They installed Shāh Shujāʻ as ruler in Jalalabad and forced Dōst Moḥammad to flee the country. But in 1841 Dōst Moḥammad returned to Afghanistan to lead an uprising against the invaders and Shāh Shujāʻ. In one of the most disastrous defeats in British military history, in January 1842 an Anglo-Indian force of 4,500 men and thousands of followers was annihilated by Afghan tribesmen. The British then sent a larger force from India to exact retribution and to recover hostages, before finally withdrawing in October 1842. The concluding sentence of this book sums up the essential futility of the conflict: "And so the English army left secure on the throne of Afghanistan the dynasty they had spent so many millions of treasure and so many lives to overthrow." The book is by Mowbray Walter Morris (1847-1911), editor of Macmillan's Magazine and the author of works of biography and literary criticism.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from For Name and Fame or Through Afghan Passes In following the hero of this story with the British army during the last war in Afghanistan, you will be improving your acquaintance with a country which is at present, and is likely to be so for a long time, of supreme interest to Englishmen. Afghan istan stands as a dividing line between the two great empires of England and Russia, and is certain, sooner or later, to become the scene of a tremendous struggle between these nations; possibly the struggle may have begun before these pages are read by you. Hap pily, at the present time the Afghans are on our side. It is true that we have lately warred with and beaten them, but our retirement after victory has at least shown them that we have no desire to take their country; while, on the other hand, they know that for those upon whom Russia has once laid her hand there is no escape.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Afghanistan Between East and West The selection of Afghanistan for a case study of competitive coexistence was initially prompted by the apprehension in the Western world that attended the massive offer of aid by the USSR in 1955. Was it conceivable that such a small country could stand up under the pressure of such a powerful neighbor country if also made so dependent on its trade and aid? Some observers saw little hope under these circumstances. But, as has happened elsewhere, the inevitable has not come to pass.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Afghanistan and the Central Asian Question: With Map "For my own part, I will only say that though I should have preferred, in the interest of peace, that Russia had not entered on a career of conquest along the Jaxartes and the Oxus, yet I see no reason at present to feel any anxiety about the advance towards India. Asia is large enough for both of us, and we may well pursue our respective paths, and fulfil our respective missions, without jostling or jealousy. Our position in Asia is quiescent, while hers is progressive... We can, therefore, well afford to wait, forbearing, but vigilant, and conscious that if real danger approaches at any time, we are strong enough to arrest and crush it." - Sir Henry Rawlinson's "Notes on Khiva," March, 1873.
