In his latest book the First Afghan War is told through the lives of unforgettable characters on all sides, using time contemporary Afghan accounts of the conflict for the first time. ‘A must-read for anyone wanting to understand the complexities of modern day Afghanistan’ (Sunday Express) ‘Like (his) heartbreaking, extraordinary White Mughals, this book is as taut and richly embroidered as a great novel … a masterpiece of nuanced writing and research, and a thrilling account of a watershed Victorian conflict.’ (Sunday Telegraph)
