Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Life and Career of Major Sir Louis Cavagnari, C. S. I., K. C. B : British Envoy at Cabul; Together With a Brief Outline of the Second Afghan War When the terrible news of the massacre of the British Embassy at Cabul was flashed through the country, there was a feeling of universal grief throughout India. Whatever may have been the differences of opinion in men´s minds about the policy of the Afghan war, those differences were forgotten in the general lamentation for the loss of the lives of those gallant British officers, who, in the performance of their duty, fell victims to the treachery of a fanatical nation, destitute of all sense of truth and honor. Of the three brave officers who, together with their small escort of fifty men, were so treacherously and ruthlessly butchered by the Afghans, Sir Louis Cavagnari was the Chief, and it is my purpose to give in these pages a brief sketch of the life and career of that distinguished officer. In placing this book before the public, I need scarcely say, I claim no higher title than that of a compiler, as almost all my materials have been collected from the public prints of the day.
