 Amer Sher Ali Khan, The Emir Of Afghanistan,  Bio In English.

Sher Ali Khan Emir Of Afghanistan, 1865 (c).

Sher Ali Khan was born in 1825, the third son of Dost Mohammad Khan, and succeeded to his father's throne in Afghanistan in 1863; initially his position was not secure due to family struggles, revolts and civil war.

He attempted to maintain stability within Afghanistan as power struggles ensued between Russia to the north and British India to the south. During the Second Afghan War (1878-81) Sher Ali Khan fled the country but died in 1879 on the journey, before which he had placed his son, Ya'qub Khan on the throne.
