Summary Examines the mid-19th-century Afghan war as a tragic result of neocolonial ambition, cultural collision and hubris, drawing on previously untapped primary sources to explore such topics as the reestablishment of a puppet-leader Shah, the conflict's brutal human toll and the similarities between the war and present-day challenges.

No easy place to rule
An unsettled mind
The great game begins
The mouth of hell
The flag of holy war
We fail from our ignorance
All order is at an end
The wail of bugles
The death of a king
A war for no wise purpose.
