The end game : the final chapter in Britain's great game in Afghanistan

Books
Beginning by drawing parallels between the author's experiences at the British Embassy in Kabul in 2010-2013 and her grandfather's experiences of the same just after Indian Independence in 1948-50, this book takes a thematic approach to analyse the role of Britain in Afghanistan since the conclusion of the Second World War. This examination uncovers a little-known story about how Britain's imperial withdrawal from Afghanistan in the late 1940s helped fuel the early Cold War, and why it has proved so difficult to 'rebuild' Afghanistan recently.
