Excerpt from Gun-Running and the Indian North-West Frontier Tion more from the hazardous nature of the under taking than from any bearing that the ultimate suppression Of the traffic may have on the tran quillity of the frontier. It is with this Object, namely, Of emphasizing the connection between the Operations of the blockading squadron and the preservation of peace on the Pathan border, that I have ventured on the publication Of this book. Though it in no sense aims at bringing the history Of the frontier up to date, yet so little has been written on this subject since the publication of Mr. Chirol's Middle Eastern Question and Mr. Angus Hamilton's Afghan istan (to both of which I am indebted as well for the interest I have felt in the subject as for the information therein contained) that I have thought it worth while to devote a chapter to a precis of the Zakka Khel and Mohmand Expeditions.

This comprehensive study is the first scholarly account explaining how the British and Indian armies adapted to the peculiar demands of fighting an irregular tribal opponent in the mountainous no-man's-land between India and Afghanistan. It does so by discussing how a tactical doctrine of frontier fighting was developed and 'passed on' to succeeding generations of soldiers. As this book conclusively demonstrates this form of colonial warfare always exerted a powerful influence on the organisation, equipment, training and ethos of the Army in India.

First published in 1932, this book presents a historical study of the problems associated with controlling the 'North-West Frontier' region of British India. The text focuses in the main on the period 1890 to 1908, although a survey of policy since 1849 is also provided. It was based almost entirely on analysis of numerous official documents and original sources, which are quoted throughout. Appendices and a select bibliography are included at the end. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in perspectives on British India and historiography.

Still recruited from the Pathan tribes that live in the no-man's land between Pakistan and Afghanistan, the Khyber Rifles continue to stand guard over this area, one of the world's most volatile borders. This title ells the story of Colonel Sir Robert Warburton, the man who raised the Khyber Rifles in 1878, and describes these rifles in action.
