About This Item
This is a first edition (1966) of The Fierce Pawns, the account of the First Afghan War by the Anglo-Irish expert on Afghanistan Sir Patrick Macrory (1911-1993). It recounts the conquest, folly and intrigue of the campaign, leading to the revenge of the Afghans during the British retreat from Kabul in 1842.
The jacket, which is unclipped, has some shelfwear--you can see it in the photos.
The book itself is near-mint. There's a white mark on the spine and the pages have yellowed a little.
Other than that, it's perfect.
352 pages including photos and index.
