Book Description

About the Book The book "The Expedition Into Afghanistan" delves into the British occupation's significance in British India, noting Napoleon's interest in a Kabul march. Control over Afghanistan is deemed vital for safeguarding British interests, necessitating a lasting military presence. Soldiers' enthusiasm for the campaign stems from Afghanistan's allure and historical intrigue. Notions of Afghan ancestry, intertwined with myth and antiquity, are explored, alongside classical interests like Alexander the Great's legacy.

About the Author James Atkinson (1780-1852) was a multi-talented figure in British India, known as a surgeon, Persian scholar, and artist. He initially arrived in India in 1802 as a surgeon and later worked at the Calcutta Mint and as the editor of the Calcutta Gazette. Atkinson was renowned for his Persian studies and translations into English.

Preface THE Occupation of Affghanistan forms, no doubt, an important era in the annals of British India. Nearly thirty years ago, it was asserted that, if Napoleon could have passed the winter at Moscow with his four hundred thousand men, it was his intention, as his scheme via Egypt had failed, early in the following spring to have marched that number through Caubul, upon our Indian pos-sessions; whilst the remainder, strengthened by powerful reinforcements, were to have pressed on to St. Petersburgh. In this design he was sup-posed to be encouraged by the recollection that, a few years before, Shah Zemaun, then King of Caubul, had put his army in motion towards the East for the conquest of Delhi. Zemaun assem-bled a large army for that purpose in 1796, and advanced as far as Lahore; but disorders in his own capital, which threatened the subversion of his power, and hostile demonstrations from Persia, compelled him to relinquish the enterprise at that time.
