Designed for classroom use, The First Anglo-Afghan Wars gathers in one volume primary
source materials related to the first two wars that Great Britain launched against
native leaders of the Afghan region. From 1839 to 1842, and again from 1878 to 1880,
Britain fought to expand its empire and prevent Russian expansion into the region's
Northwest Frontier, which was considered the gateway to India, the jewel in Victorian
Britain's imperial crown. Spanning from 1817 to 1919, the selections reflect the complex
national, international, and anti-colonial interests entangled in Central Asia at
the time
