In November 1841 Sir William Macnaghten reduced his payments of
what were effectively bribes to the leaders of particular factions
in Afghanistan--the precipitation of the events described in this
book. The first part provides extracts of the official government
account of events between October 1841 and January 1842; the second
is extracted from the diaries of two of the survivors--Lieutenant
Vincent Eyre and Lady Florentia Sale, both of whom were finally
released in September 1842 after eight months of being moved around
the region in dread fear of their lives. They provide critical and
moving accounts of one of the most appalling captivities in
history.
