"History of the War in Afghanistan, Vol. 3 (of 3)" by Sir John William Kaye is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This volume serves as the continuation and conclusion of Kaye's comprehensive examination of the military and political events surrounding the British campaigns in Afghanistan during the early 19th century. It likely delves into the challenges faced by British forces, the complexities of Afghan politics, and the consequences of imperial ambitions. At the start of this volume, the narrative sets a sobering tone as it chronicles the tumultuous events that led to heightened tensions and conflicts in Afghanistan, particularly during the years 1841-1842. The opening chapters capture the desperation faced by British forces as they grapple with rebellions, internal political strife, and logistical failures. The text highlights a distressed Lord Auckland, the Governor-General, reflecting on the burgeoning crisis, as communications from Afghanistan reveal the dire situation of the Caubul force. Overall, the beginning paints a picture of a deteriorating military position, setting the stage for further analysis of the ensuing chaos and eventual attempts at retrieval by the British military forces.

Reading ease score: 65.5 (8th & 9th grade). Neither easy nor difficult to read.
