Incredible read! Fascinating historical fiction surrounding the events (storming of the Bala Hissar fort in Old Kabul) that led to the Second Afghan-British War. Hensher does an amazing job bringing the characters in this book to life and writes in a taut, engaging style that keeps one turning the pages.
