BIBLIOGRAPHY
For the main course of events I am indebted to Sir John Kaye’s History of the War in Afghanistan (1851), which is the most comprehensive and best-documented contemporary source. But the following published books have also enabled me to add the depth, colour and individual reactions that only witnesses and participants could give to this account of an all but hidden tragedy in our military history:
Alexander Burnes: Kabul, A Personal Narrative (1842)
Major William Broadfoot: The Career of Major George Broadfoot (1888)
