This book was released on 2016-09-25 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The British Empire employed a diverse range of strategies to establish and then maintain control over its overseas territories in the Middle East. This new interpretation of how Britain maintained order, protected its interests and carried out its defence obligations in the Gulf in the decades before its withdrawal from the region in 1971 looks at how the British government increasingly sought to achieve security with great economy of force by building up local militaries instead of deploying costly military forces from the home country. Benefitting from the extensive use of recently declassified British Government archival documents and India Office records, this highly original narrative weighs the successes and failures of Britain's use of 'indirect rule' among the small states of Eastern Arabia, including Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, the seven Trucial States and Oman. Drawing important lessons for scholars and policymakers about the limitations of trying to outsource security to local partners, Security in the Gulf is a remarkable study of the deployment of British colonial policy in the Middle East before 1971.

Download or read book Frontier Fighters: On Active Serivce in Warziristan written by Walter Cummings and published by Casemate Publishers. This book was released on 2010-08-19 with total page 291 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These are fascinating memoirs of a British officer who fought the legendary Pathan tribesmen of the Northwest Frontier, right up to the beginning of WW2. He describes desperate battles against this highly skilled and ruthless enemy. Pathan atrocities were commonplace and no prisoners were taken.Cummings served in two Frontier units, the South Waziristan Scouts and the Corps of Guides. Waziristan, then the home of Wazirs and Mahsuds, the most war like of Pathan tribes, is today sanctuary for Al Qaeda and Taliban terrorists. Frontier Fighters describes the closing stages of Britains imperial presence on the subcontinent. Yet beside the pig sticking, polo and hunting, there was great excitement danger and gallantry. A unique bond existed between the British and their native troops. Paradoxically Cummings went on to command a Pathan regiment in North Africa in WW2.

Download or read book A Cultural History of Firearms in the Age of Empire written by Karen Jones and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-03-16 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Firearms have been studied by imperial historians mainly as means of human destruction and material production. Yet firearms have always been invested with a whole array of additional social and symbolical meanings. By placing these meanings at the centre of analysis, the essays presented in this volume extend the study of the gun beyond the confines of military history and the examination of its impact on specific colonial encounters. By bringing cultural perspectives to bear on this most pervasive of technological artefacts, the contributors explore the densely interwoven relationships between firearms and broad processes of social change. In so doing, they contribute to a fuller understanding of some of the most significant consequences of British and American imperial expansions. Not the least original feature of the book is its global frame of reference. Bringing together historians of different periods and regions, A Cultural History of Firearms in the Age of Empire overcomes traditional compartmentalisations of historical knowledge and encourages the drawing of novel and illuminating comparisons across time and space.
