Afghanistan and the Afghans - Being a Brief Review of the History of the Country and Account of Its People, With a Special Reference to the Present Crisis and War With the Amir Sher Ali Khan #263592

Convinced as I am of the very great importance to our national interests of the thorough comprehension by the nation of the character of our previous relations, and of the nature of our final rupture with the Amir of Kabul, and assured as I am of our power to safeguard our own rights over the whole country which we have assisted him to hold as the frontier province of our own Empire in India, I have ventured to put together for submission to the consideration and inquiry of the nation a very brief account of the country and people ruled by the Amir with whom we are now at war.
