摘要、提要註:	This book examines the evolution of the modern Afghan state in the shadow of Britain b2 ss imperial presence in South Asia during the firsthalf of the nineteenth century. It challenges the staid assumptions that the Afghans were little more than pawns in a larger Anglo-Russian imperial rivalry known as the b1 sGreat Game b2 s. Instead, it argues the way the East India Company related to the Afghan kingdom was definitional of both, and explains many of the unresolved issues central to theregion today. The book considers the underlying causes of the failure of British policies and imagination with regards to Afghanistan and itsconsequences for the region and its inhabitants. In particular, it looks at the pressures shaping British strategic policies and vision beyond its north west frontier. Rather than being fearful of the far-removedforces of the Tsar, they were more concerned with indigenous competitors for power on the sub-continent.
