A Higher Form of Killing by Diana Preston
Some 170 years ago, Britain sent a powerful army into Afghanistan to protect its national interests. It was catastrophically destroyed. This is the story of the First Afghan War and the start of "The Great Game."
Diana Preston is an acclaimed historian and author of the definitive Lusitania: An Epic Tragedy, Before the Fallout: From Marie Curie to Hiroshima (winner of the Los Angeles Times Book Prize for History), The Boxer Rebellion, and The Dark Defile: Britain'’s Catastrophic Invasion of Afghanistan, 1838–1842, among other works of narrative history. She and her husband, Michael, live in London.
