Kipling And Afghanistan: A Study of the Young Author As Journalist Writing on the Afghan Border Crisis of 18841885

'Kipling became the voice of the eastern British Empire, and his writing covered Central Asia. Kipling drew inspiration from working with far-flung correspondents at the Civil and Military Gazette in Lahore, Pakistan. One of his chief correspondents was Dr. Charles Owen who served a tour of duty with the Afghan Boundary Commission between 1884 and 1886. '--Provided by publisher.
