Investor's Review.—" Colonel Hanna has now completed his excellent and authoritative history. . . . The third volume, now published, is the largest of the three, and in some respects the most fascinating; but the whole book is well and conscientiously written, packed with information, and suffused with political wisdom—a book, therefore, not only to be read, but to be bought and kept for reference."
Western Press.—" The skill and intelligence which Colonel Hanna lias shown in compiling such a masterful and heavy work stamps him as a man of brilliance, and the work should prove a valuable asset to political and military students.
Morning Leader.— "The third and final volume of Colonel Hanna's masterly history of the 'Second Afghan War.' . . . This well-planned and well-executed history (furnished, we may add, with excellent maps)should be the standard work on its subject,"
Daily News.—"Colonel Hanna's work is one which reveals singular mastery of his subject, both on the military side and on the political."
New Age.—"Written in good English, printed on good paper, and containing clear and adequate strategical maps ., . it is a book for all readers, from the soldier to the politician."
Freeman's Journal.— " The history has run into three volumes, and this is the last. It has been done with great elaborateness of detail. . . . This is a valuable book."
United Service Gazette.—" Colonel Hanna is an officer with considerable Indian experience. ... He has been a determined opponent of the forward policy in India, and certainly the discouraging experience we have always met with in our trans-frontier wars shows that Colonel Hanna's premises are based on something more than theory, and that he is one of those keen, far-seeing soldiers who were capable of correctly gauging the results of our interference with Afghanistan, and of indicating that we were laying up a store of future trouble for ourselves. "
Times.—"This work, an elaborate account of the operations for the strategist and military student, is now complete."
Military Mail.—"The opinions of the author, as expressed in the final chapter, are instructive and illuminating, and he ends a great work by the words, ' Progress founded on Peace.' "
Observer.—"The concluding volume of a lucid, able, and authoritative work."
