PREFACE
Men and Events through 18th and 19th century, Afghanistan.
This is a collection of 46 articles originally written in Persian and published in book form some years ago, giving short sketches of some of the important events in Afghan History through 18th and 19th century.
They also give brief biographies of some outstanding Personalities who had played leading roles on the scene of those historical events.
We hope that the publication of an English version of this book will be useful to our foreign readers who may be interested in the history of our country.
Ahmad Ali Kohzad
Roughly two thirds of characters agree with a modern printed edition of the same text. Much of the disagreement is editorial, not misreading. Treat the transcription as a finding aid and read the page image before quoting. How this was measured.
