March on Kabul

In March on Kabul, set in autumn 1879, Lieutenant William Blackwood and the Monmouthshire Fusiliers transition from the heat of Africa to the violent upheaval of Afghanistan. Following the assassination of the British mission in Kabul, Major General Roberts assembles a new field force, sending Blackwood's regiment to tackle the treacherous terrain and fierce opposition. As they advance toward Kabul, they face a well-fortified Afghan army at Char Asiab, testing their resolve and capabilities amid the harsh realities of war and the demands of leadership on the frontier. This installment of the Blackwood of the Empire series explores themes of command, endurance, and survival in the challenging landscape of imperial conflict.
