Hamilton is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The work appears to be an extensive examination of Afghanistan and its geopolitical significance, framed within the context of Central Asian affairs during a time of strategic developments, particularly concerning British and Russian interests. The author aims to fill a gap in contemporary literature regarding Afghanistan, offering insights into its geography, socio-political dynamics, and vital border relations. The opening of the text establishes the backdrop of the geopolitical landscape of Central Asia, specifically focusing on the implications of the completion of the Orenburg-Tashkent railway. The author articulates the slow but relentless expansion of Russia into Central Asia, contrasting this with Britain's previous indifference and lack of action. As the narrative unfolds, it sets a tone that suggests a critical analysis of British policy towards Afghanistan and its enduring implications for the region, characterizing the intricate relationship between these two global powers and highlighting the past and ongoing territorial and strategic negotiations that shape Afghanistan's modern identity.
