Produktbeschreibung
Afghanistan is a country shrouded in a web of stereotypes and prejudices that make it unique among other nations. This book explores the complex process of state formation in the late 19th century, using both local and English sources, with an in-depth look at the historical narratives and scientific expeditions of the time. From the writings of Afghan historians to the vast compilations of James Mill or the memoirs of expeditions such as that of Monstuart Elphinstone, these pages offer a comprehensive view of the country's political and military development. Biographies of key figures such as the Emir Abdur Rahman Khan, as well as memoirs of military men and women such as Lady Sale, provide a detailed understanding of the events that shaped the nation. The book also highlights the influence of British and Russian power in shaping Afghanistan as a "buffer state," and how Emir Abdur Rahman Khan consolidated his power through a regime of repression, supported by a network of espionage and torture, aided by modern British arms factories, and dependent on British funding due to his inability to generate internal revenue. Finally, it examines the failed attempts to modernize Afghanistan under different regimes, all driven from outside, and how the structural elements and influence of the Islamic religion are still present in Afghan society today.
