In 1878, Jack Windrush and the 113th Foot are sent into Afghanistan as Britain responds to fears of growing Russian influence at the court of Amir Sher Ali. Jack must prepare an inexperienced battalion for campaigning in difficult terrain as British forces advance in separate columns across the frontier.

Military operations are complicated by uncertain intelligence, espionage and divided local loyalties. Jack’s responsibility for his men increasingly conflicts with the political assumptions behind the invasion, while the distance from home and the possibility of defeat make survival as important as victory.
