About the Book:
This book is a poetic retelling of the First Anglo-Afghan War (1838-42), a devastating episode of British imperialism in India. It narrates the story of the British invasion of Afghanistan, the subsequent catastrophic retreat, and the destruction of the army and camp followers.
The conflict, driven by the geopolitics of the Asiatic Great Game for world domination, resulted in over 16,000 deaths. The harsh winter, coupled with enemy attacks, contributed to this tragedy.
The book combines poetic narrative with a prose section that provides a fresh theoretical perspective, exploring themes beyond the tragic events and arriving at broader conclusions.
