When the British invaded Afghanistan in 1878, forty years after the first attempt, it was to scotch Russian influence and to install a friendly government. This book accounts various questions such as why it was fought, why it was necessary, who was responsible and what it achieved.
The Indian Army, Oxford and a distinguished career in the Ministry of Defence form the background to Brian Robson's reputation as the leading historian of the Indian Army. Vice President of the society for Army Historical research and a founding member of the Imperial War Museum and National Army Museum. He is the author of numerous military history titles, including Crisis on the Frontier, also published by Spellmount.
