Title: Awesome
Review: A must read for those who want some understanding about the first English/Afghanistan war, and some present day understanding of the Afghani mind. Mrs Sales is a very tough and fearless woman who defines what a stiff upper lip really is. She and her daughter were taken prisoner during their attempt to escape from Kabul (majority of the soldiers and camp followers were killed, say 15,000). You are also going to get insight into how well the senior British military and their family really lived--the luxury is unbelievable. And their arrogance is also unbelievable--this was a huge defeat for the British. And they repeated it a few years later, but that is another story.
