Sikunder Burnes

I have just finished reading Craig Murray's superb biography of Sikunder Burnes.






Burnes was a British officer, an explorer and a key participant in the Great Game [to keep the Russians out of India]. He took part in the invasion of Afghanistan and was murdered in Kabul.

It is an excellent read. So is Craig Murray's blog - https://www.craigmurray.org.uk/
