| Summary | "Through Three Campaigns: A Story of Chitral, Tirah and Ashanti" by G. A. Henty is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The story follows the journey of young Lisle Bullen, the son of a British officer, as he navigates the tumultuous military conflicts of Chitral, Tirah, and Ashanti. As he comes to terms with his father's death during a campaign, Lisle disguises himself to join the British forces, eager to prove his bravery and honor his late father's legacy. At the start of the narrative, the preface establishes the book's historical context, shedding light on the challenging conditions faced by British troops during the campaigns. The opening chapter introduces Lisle and his father, Captain Bullen, as they prepare for another military expedition. Following his father's fatal injury during a skirmish with the Afridi tribesmen, Lisle grapples with grief and seeks excitement amid the regiment's discussions of impending battles. As rumors of tribal unrest emerge, Lisle decides to disguise himself and join the troops in the field, despite the dangers ahead. This sets the stage for action-packed adventures and personal growth as Lisle navigates the harrowing realities of war. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
