What is the Afghanistan history book “The Russo-Afghan question and the invasion of India” (1885)?
The Library of Congress catalogs “The Russo-Afghan question and the invasion of India” as a digitized book dated 1885. The record is indexed for Boundaries, Russia, Great Britain, and Foreign Relations, making it a discoverable primary or historical source rather than a modern summary page.
What this adds to the history
The catalog credits Malleson, G. B. (George Bruce) as creator, contributor, or responsible organization. Attribution helps a reader investigate perspective and purpose.
The catalog connects the item with Russia, Great Britain, and Afghanistan and lists English. It appears within Asian Division, World Digital Library, South Asian Digital Collection, and Selected Digitized Books.
Use the table of contents, publication context, author background, footnotes, and vocabulary to identify what the book can support. Corroborate factual claims with later scholarship and Afghan sources.
Open the full Library of Congress entry before citing it. Preserve the catalog title, creator, date, item URL, and the exact page, frame, or map detail that supports the claim.
How to read the evidence responsibly
Digitized books and manuscripts let readers inspect how Afghanistan was described at a particular time, by a particular author, publisher, institution, or political setting.
An old book is evidence of what its author recorded or believed. It is not automatically an accurate, neutral, or current account of Afghan people and history.
Check the underlying information.
