For a gripping account of the massacre in the Kabul Pass during the British retreat, I refer you to George MAcDonald Fraser's first book Flashman. Even better as a book on tape, it's wonderful stuff.

For a gripping account of the massacre in the Kabul Pass during the British retreat, I refer you to George MAcDonald Fraser's first book Flashman. Even better as a book on tape, it's wonderful stuff.

From the article- "
Three months later, when an entire British army was wiped out on its retreat from Kabul, he helped rally the vastly outnumbered Kandahar garrison and saved the day. "Rawlinson," his commanding general had declared, "you like a skirmish. Take the cavalry and do as you think best." "

Man, if that ain't a line.
