Summary "The Afghan War of 1879-80" by Howard Hensman is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book chronicles the significant events of the Afghan War, with a specific focus on the military campaigns during that period, including the capture of Cabul and the battles that ensued. It aims to provide a detailed narrative of the conflict, placing emphasis on the actions of the British forces and the political dynamics involved. The opening of the narrative provides context by detailing the massacre of the British Embassy in Afghanistan, setting the stage for the military response that follows. Hensman describes the initial events leading up to this tragedy, including the precarious situation of the British mission under Sir Louis Cavagnari and the tension with the Afghan Amir, Yakub Khan. The introduction sets the tone for the ensuing conflict, hinting at the complexities and chaos that defined this chapter of history as British troops prepare to retaliate and avenge the massacre.
