| Summary | "History of the War in Afghanistan, Vol. 2 (of 3)" by Sir John William Kaye is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This volume explores the complex geopolitical situation and military conflicts surrounding the British invasion and occupation of Afghanistan, focusing on the restoration of Shah Soojah, the internal strife within Afghanistan, and the influence of British imperial interests in the region. The book is a detailed examination of the implications of foreign intervention and the sociopolitical dynamics of Afghanistan during this turbulent period. At the start of this volume, the narrative discusses the restoration of Shah Soojah and the immediate political challenges he faces as the British army considers withdrawal after having placed him on the throne. Although his installation is initially celebrated, the Shah grapples with unpopularity and external threats, particularly from Dost Mahomed, the previous ruler. The British authorities realize that their military presence is still essential for maintaining the Shah’s power amidst growing dissent and unrest, revealing the fragile nature of their political experiment in Afghanistan. This opening portion sets the stage for the subsequent challenges the British would face, foreshadowing a series of military actions and strategies that would further complicate the already volatile situation in the region.
