In this audiobook, Brian Wright explores Britain's historical involvement in Afghanistan through the lens of his own family memories and the evocative prose of Rudyard Kipling. He reveals that his ancestors participated in multiple Afghan conflicts, from the first war in the 19th century to the border clashes that followed, highlighting the persistent Afghan resistance to foreign interference. By intertwining personal narratives with Kipling's literary reflections, Wright provides a unique perspective on the impact of these military engagements, all accompanied by music featuring banjo and trumpet.
