My God ! - Maiwand. by Leigh Maxwell

I've just finished reading this book.

Although it had been recommended, I wasn't sure what to expect, but now I can say I was delighted with its content. Well-written and highly-descriptive. However, there are probably several inaccuracies, which will be corrected in new books (or new chapters) about the Battle at Maiwand.

My copy was somewhat worn, but not to a great extent. I think it was reasonably priced too, though mine was kindly bought for me as a birthday present.

Which I was very pleased about ! Very Happy

The only thing that I am unhappy about, is the age I am now Sad

Thanks Mike

Now that I know something of Maiwand, I feel I have something to 'mould' and correct, when reading modern versions of the events.

It really does appear to be a battle that could do with a whole new book written about it, as it had me 'hooked', much like Isandlwana.

The writing was well done.
