In part three of our series on Afghanistan we get fully into the second Anglo-Afghan War, picking up where we left off, in 1878. Will the British have learned valuable lessons from previous decades? Will they consequently learn anything from subsequent disasters? If you’ve been listening, you can probably guess the answers, but tune in anyway and find out!
