The book offers a firsthand account of the final phase of the Second Anglo-Afghan War, capturing the experiences of the author, Howard Hensman, who was the sole journalist embedded with the Kurram Valley Field Force. His letters, originally published in an Indian newspaper, detail the military campaign from Ali Kheyl to Kabul in 1879, following the uprising against British forces and the tragic massacre of British officials. This narrative provides unique insights into the conflict and the complexities of British-Afghan relations during this turbulent period.
