It is about two British adventurers in British India who become kings of Kafiristan, a remote part of Afghanistan. The story was inspired by the exploits of James Brooke, an Englishman who became the first White Rajah of Sarawak in Borneo; and by the travels of American adventurer Josiah Harlan, who was granted the title Prince of Ghor in perpetuity for himself and his descendants. It incorporates a number of other factual elements such as the European-like appearance of many Nuristani people, and an ending modelled on the return of the head of the explorer Adolf Schlagintweit to colonial administrators

    Written beautifully by the very best. Relax, enjoy the prose and see again the folly of men who “Tried to hustle the east.”

    This is a fake book. Only the first chapter, apperantly made up by a Chinese hacker. It is not the book. The 90 5 star reviews should have been a give away. Fake.
