- William Dalrymple's "Return of a King"

William Dalrymple's "Return of a King"
15 February 2013
Asia House, London
Award-winning historian and best-selling author William Dalrymple returns with a dazzling new book, Return of a King - the Battle for Afghanistan. This history of the first Anglo-Afghan war resonates with contemporary politics and reads like a richly-drawn novel. Using previously undiscovered Afghan sources, and with a complex set of characters, from shahs and emirs, British generals and Russian ambassadors, Return of a King presents the full picture of Britain's disastrous adventure in Afghanistan, and asks: have we learned anything from history?
