Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from For Name and Fame or Through Afghan Passes My Dear Lads, In following the hero of this story with the British army during the last war in Afghanistan, you will be improving your acquaintance with a country which is at present, and is likely to be so for a long time, of supreme interest to Englishmen. Afghanistan stands as a dividing line between the two great empires of England and Russia, and is certain, sooner or later, to become the scene of a tremendous struggle between these nations; possibly the struggle may have begun before these pages arc read by you. Happily, at the present time the Afghans are on our side. It is true that we have lately warred with and beaten them, but our retirement after victory has at least shown them that we have no desire to take their country; while, on the other hand, they know that for those upon whom Russia has once laid her hand there is no escape. In these pages you will see the strength and the weakness of these wild people of the mountains; their strength lying in their personal bravery, their determination to preserve their freedom at all costs, and the nature of their country.
