3.0 out of 5 stars Not quite there, 16 Feb 2004

By	"adsarf" - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Road to Kabul: The Second Afghan War 1878-1881 (Hardcover)

An interesting book. It tries, but fails, to present a balanced view and winds up being another tale told very much from the British side - of which we have too many for the whole era of colonialism. As an example, the chapter on 'the opposing forces' is actually a chapter about the British armies in India, with two paragraphs about the Afghan army tacked on. I think the author genuinely intended to do better, and I can understand that Afghan records were a little hard to come by, but a missed opportunity none the less.
