The 'Central Asian Question' the Great Game saw its denouement play out in the Second Second Anglo-Afghan War and following boundary negotiations in the 1880s and 90s. The letters and despatches contained in these works contain an enormous amount of detail about the politics economics and diplomacy of Britain and Afghanistan in this period in particular the war years of 1879-1881. Important figures such as James Bruce Sir Henry Rawlinson John Lawrence Henry Marion Durand Lord Mayo Robert Napier Edward Bulwer-Lytton Granville Leveson-Gower and Spencer Cavendish all penned or put their name to the letters and despatches in these volumes and reveal the attitudes of the British government at the time. What perhaps stands out the most is the fragility of the British temperament in regards to either real or imagined Russian influence in Afghanistan and the constant shuffling of Amirs in a vain attempt to turn Afghanistan into a puppet state. Although the military actions of the Second Anglo-Afghan War were considered successful by the British Government deposing Yaqub Khan and his brother Ayub Khan from the throne it was also vastly expensive to the tune of nearly 20 million pounds and did not result in any territorial gains or subjugation of the region. The owner who bound the first volume titled the spine 'Afghanistan Betrayed by Lord Beaconsfield to Russia'. This is a strong statement considering Afghanistan preserved its independence and status as a buffer zone following the evacuation of Kandahar and Afghanistan by the British Army. It is an even stronger statement given that the trigger of the conflict Britain's retaliation to Afghanistan hospitality to Russian envoys is widely understood to have been the Viceroy of India Lord Lytton's doing and in direct opposition to orders from Disraeli himself. Perhaps the accusation speaks most to the accentuated fears around Russia and the decline of the influence of the British Empire. London, HMSO; Harrison and Sons, 1878-1881. hardcover
