Largely written while the author was being held as a hostage by the Afghan leader Mahomed Akber Khan, along with his family and several other British officers and their families, The Military Operations at Cabul is an account of the tragedy and destruction which overtook the British army during the First Afghan War.

This is a unique and compelling testimony of events that shocked the greatest Empire on earth to its core.
