In "The First Afghan War and Its Causes," the author explores the geopolitical landscape from 1799 to 1837, covering Napoleon's designs in the East, early relations between Persia and European powers, and Shah Zeman's threat to invade India. The narrative unfolds Shah Shoojaat Loodianah's diplomatic efforts, including a treaty with Runjeet Singh and a 1834 expedition to Candahar. Chapters delve into challenges faced by Dost Mahomed, Sikhs' capture of Peshawur, connection between Afghan chiefs and Persia, Russian influence in Teheran, and the contemplated attack on Herat. Subsequent chapters detail Shah Shooja's return, siege of Herat, and the Tripartite Treaty, culminating in events up to the siege of Jellalabad.

Major-General Sir Henry Marion Durand (1812–1871), a Bengal Army officer, served as Punjab's Lieutenant Governor until his demise. Mortimer played a pivotal role in drawing the controversial Durand Line, a border between Afghanistan and British India.
