Josiah the Great by Ben Macintyre
The amazing tale of a resourceful and unscrupulous early-19th-century American adventurer who forges his own kingdom in the wilds of Afghanistan.‘A wonderfully compelling story, immediate and engrossing’ Sunday Telegraph
‘A riveting and valuable contribution to Great Game literature.’ Spectator
‘If you like 19th-century derring-do, wild men in wild places, dancing girls, murderous plots, people who smoke dried dung, camels, wine laced with pearls and opium, towering eccentrics and true but almost unbelievable adventures – if you like all that kind of thing, this is the book for you.’ Jan Morris
Ben Macintyre is the author of Forgotten Fatherland, The Napoleon of Crime, A Foreign Field and the bestsellers Agent Zigzag and Operation Mincemeat. He is the former parliamentary sketch-writer for The Times, and has been the paper’s correspondent in New York, Paris and Washington. He lives in London.
