The First Afghan WarNeedless to say, the information on the First Afghan War came from many sources - below are the books from which I got information, Any one of these texts will have more detail and depth than my feeble attempts, so I encourage you explore these books. Most can be found either through Amazon or Barnes & Noble, sometimes in their "rare and out-of-print' sections. As we all know, Afghanistan is apparently, slowly but surely, trying to recover from the ravages of almost 25 years of war and internal struggle. If you would like to find out more about the current happenings and goings-on in Afghanistan, here are some web sites that may be of interest to you: Sources and BibliographyBarthorp, Michael , The Northwest Frontier, Blandford Press, London, 1982 Fredericks, Pierce G. , The Sepoy and the Cossack, New American Library, New York, 1971 Hopkirk, Peter, The Great Game - Struggle for Empire in Central Asia, Kodansha America, Ltd.
