Inhaltsangabe

A remarkable diary that recounts the dramatic unfolding of the West's first intervention in Afghanistan. First published in 1843, Lady Sale's Journal describes the first moves in what was to be known as "The Great Game" - the strtegic maneuvring between Russia nd Great Britain on the Northwest Frontier of India. Opening her narrative during the British occupation of Cabul (sic), she records assassinations, tribal insurrection, the disastrous withdrawal of the occupying force, and her own captivity - and eventual release as a result of judicious bribes. recognized as a significant documentary of these events, Lady sale's Journal is an action-filled story of folly, indecision, treachery and tragedy, all the while testifying to great courage and fortitude. This new edition features an entirely reset text, 12 pages of period illustrations, 3 historical maps and anew introduction with historical background. 5 1/4 x 8 1/2 format.
