Disaster in Afghanistan and the fall of Kabul - then and now

<p>A rare unscheduled and unplanned episode of the Redcoat History Podcast. In response to current events in Afghanistan, I thought it is the right time to talk about the 1st Anglo-Afghan war of 1839-1842 particularly the disastrous evacuation of Kabul. It is a horrific and disturbing story and one that seems to have some parallels with the current government in Kabul apparently on the verge of collapse.</p> <p> </p> <p>If you like the episode then please subscribe and also sign up for my mailing list over at <a href='https://redcoathistory.com/newsletter/'>https://redcoathistory.com/newsletter/</a></p> <p> </p> <p>You can also support the work that we are doing by making a donation via <a href='https://ko-fi.com/redcoathistory'>https://ko-fi.com/redcoathistory#</a> </p>
