As Super Powers love to demonstrate, the wilds of Afghanistan are not easily conquered. In this classic tale of ambitious adventure by Rudyard Kipling, two of her majesty's former servants turned subcontinental hustlers, Peachey Carnehan and Daniel Davrot, embark on a quest to conquer the wildly remote portion of Afghanistan known as Kafiristan. They intend to rule it as kings and make their fortunes.

With a few boxes of rifles and the intention of recruiting and training an army from among the men of Kafiristan who know little of the larger world, the men disappear into the harsh frontier north of India. Bound by a strict contract to abstain from women and liquor until success and fortune have been obtained, Peachey and Daniel reveal with their fascinating expedition the fundamentals of state power and the limits to which a population can tolerate the deceptions of exploitative outsiders. Claim your copy of this classic short story and enjoys its Victorian flavor that remains relevant today. Download this thought-provoking classic in your choice of six DRM-free ebook formats.
