Reviews
"The reader illustrates the importance of finding elusive local perspectives on the first Anglo-Afghan wars to achieve a nuanced understandingof the conflicts." -- Robert Eric Colvard * Itinerario *
"Current Western leaders could definitely benefit from reading the essays in this volume." -- Harold E. Raugh, Jr. * International Journal of Military History *
"Overall, Burton's impressive collection of documents offers a great deal to students and scholars alike. It will enliven classroom debate in courses on imperialism, warfare, and South and Central Asia. The book provides a much-needed history of recent and contemporary warfare, especially in Afghanistan, South Asia, and the Middle East." -- Kate Imy * H-War, H-Net Reviews *
