Description

- Edited and compiled from three eyewitness accounts with notes and glossary.
In 1841 the British Army was forced to evacuate its base in Cabool (Kabul) and within only a few weeks was wiped out almost to the last man in the Himalayan passes. This book combines the official parliamentary report with the private accounts of Lady Florentia Sale, wife of Brigadier Robert Sale and Lieutenant Vincent Eyre in order to present a unique picture of the terrible events.
