A Journal of the Disasters in Afghanistan by Lady Sale is a firsthand account of the British military disaster in Afghanistan during the First Anglo-Afghan War (1839–1842). Written by Lady Florentia Sale, the wife of a British officer, the journal chronicles her harrowing experiences after being captured by Afghan forces during the retreat from Kabul. Detailing the brutal conditions, battles, and the personal suffering endured by her and other prisoners, Lady Sale's narrative offers a vivid, poignant perspective on the calamities faced by the British expeditionary force. The journal is a valuable historical document, providing insight into the challenges of warfare and the resilience of those caught in the turmoil.
