Artikelbeschreibung des Verkäufers

2005 N & M Press reprint of 1877 second Edition. SB. iv + 62pp A Powerful Firsthand Account of Courage and Sacrifice. Char-ee-kar and Service There with the 4th Goorkha Regiment (Shah Shooja's Force) in 1841: An Episode of the First Afghan War, by Colonel John Haughton, is a compelling historical military memoir that offers a vivid and deeply personal account of one of the most difficult episodes of the First Anglo-Afghan War.Haughton recounts the experiences of the 4th Goorkha Regiment during the autumn and winter of 1841, when a small detachment became isolated at Charikar in the Kohistan region north of Kabul. Surrounded by increasingly hostile Afghan forces, the garrison faced dwindling supplies, severe shortages of water, and mounting pressure from an overwhelming enemy. Yet, throughout these extraordinary circumstances, the soldiers displayed remarkable discipline, courage, and determination.One of the book's greatest strengths is its firsthand perspective. Haughton provides an intimate view of military life under siege, revealing not only the tactical realities of the fighting but also the extraordinary resilience of the men who continued to defend their position in increasingly desperate conditions. The account gives particular insight into the bravery and sacrifice of the Gurkha troops, whose reputation for steadfastness is powerfully illustrated by their actions.Beyond its military value, the memoir also provides an important window into the wider events surrounding the disastrous Afghan campaign of 1841-42. Haughton's narrative helps bring this turbulent period to life, making the political and military upheaval of the First Anglo-Afghan War much more immediate and human.For readers interested in British and Indian military history, the early history of the Gurkhas, or firsthand accounts of the Afghan campaigns, this is a fascinating and worthwhile work. Its combination of historical detail, personal experience, and a dramatic account of courage under extreme pressure makes it a particularly memorable addition to the literature of the First Afghan War.…
