In the rugged mountains of Balochistan,
an isolated outpost stood between
empire and uprising.
This is the gripping, first-hand account
of the defence of Kahun in 1840-
when a small band of British and
Indian soldiers held a deserted fort
against overwhelming tribal forces
for four long months.
Drawn from the journal of Captain Lewis Brown
and original letters, this forgotten episode
of the First Afghan War is a powerful
fectament to dutv. endurance.
and the indomitable spirit
of soldiers on the frontier.
