Vincent Eyre (1811 81) was an English officer in the East India
Company from 1827 and took part in the First Anglo-Afghan War (1839
42), which ended in disaster for the British. He would later become
a major-general and a Knight Commander of the Star of India, but in
this work Eyre lucidly describes his experiences as a lieutenant in
the war, during which he was severely wounded. In addition to
providing a wealth of military detail, he also includes an account
of how he was captured with his family by Akbar Khan in January
1842 and held hostage for nearly nine months. Eyre kept a diary
throughout, and the manuscript was smuggled to a friend in India
prior to publication in England in 1843. This updated third edition
offers insights into both military and personal misfortune.
