Overview
\"This is first English account of the diplomatic visit of Afghan Prince Nasr Allah to England in the late nineteenth century. Using both British and Afghan sources and placing the visit in its international and historical context McChesney analyses the agency, motivation and perceptions of the prince towards his hosts and vice versa, including the resistance of the smaller party. He reveals for example that while privately impressed by Britain's military prowess Nasr Allah instructed his colleagues to remain impassive in a successful attempt to frustrate the British. Above all we gain insight into the aims of two asymmetrical yet competing powers and a rare insight into Afghan leaders' attitudes and strategies towards the British Empire\"-- Provided by publisher.
