Summary "To Herat and Cabul: A Story of the First Afghan War" by G. A. Henty is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The story follows a young boy named Angus Campbell, who embarks on a journey through turbulent Persian territories and into war-torn Afghanistan during the First Afghan War. As Angus navigates the complexities of diplomacy, survival, and warfare, he becomes embroiled in the fate of Herat and the efforts to counter Russian influence in the region. The opening of the novel introduces Angus Campbell, a sixteen-year-old boy who recently lost his parents to the plague. Left alone in a foreign land, he seeks to forge a path for himself, ultimately finding service with the British minister at the Persian court. With his knowledge of languages, Angus is entrusted with a vital mission to deliver a letter to the ruler of Herat, encouraging him to resist Persian invaders. This initial setup not only establishes Angus as a resourceful and determined protagonist but also sets the stage for the historical conflicts and personal trials he will encounter as the story unfolds.
