With the exception of two short periods of direct British
intervention during the Anglo-Afghan Wars of 1839-42 and 1878-80,
the history of nineteenth-century Afghanistan has received little
attention from western scholars. This study seeks to shift the
focus of debate from the geostrategic concern with Afghanistan as
the bone of contention between imperial Russian and British
interests to a thorough investigation of the sociopolitical
circumstances prevailing within the country. On the basis of
unpublished British documents and works by Afghan historians, it
lays the groundwork for a better understanding of the political
mechanisms at work during the early Muhammadzai era by analysing
them both from the viewpoint of the center and the pierphery.
