Book Synopsis The Frontier Ablaze by : Michael Barthorp
Download or read book The Frontier Ablaze written by Michael Barthorp and published by Da Capo Press, Incorporated. This book was released on 1996 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Of all the actions fought on India's Northwest Frontier (today's Afghanistan and Pakistan), the campaign of 1897 was the most threatening to the British Empire. A widespread alliance of Frontier tribes overran numerous British outposts and even occupied the fabled Khyber Pass itself. India was directly threatened and Britain's international prestige suffered. Michael Barthorpe, a foremost authority on the British Army and it's uniforms, chronicles the year-long campaign to regain the Khyber Pass. A series of color plates presents the most accurate depiction, based on the most recent research, of the uniforms of the various participants.
Book Synopsis Revival: The Challenge of the North-West Frontier (1937) by : C.F. Andrews
Download or read book Revival: The Challenge of the North-West Frontier (1937) written by C.F. Andrews and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-04-20 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1937, this book grew out of the author's belief that there needed to be a "drastic revision" of British policy on the North-West Frontier of India (now Khyber Pakhtunkhwa in Pakistan) in order to achieve a lasting peace. The author examined the causes of continued hostility and non-military methods that might prevent further outbreaks of war – reducing or removing British troops and leaving the settlement of disputes to Indians. He traces the changing attitudes of Indians towards British rule and the increasing popularity of calls for independence while also detailing the wider Indian context. This book will be of interest to students of Indian and colonial history.

Book Synopsis Eighteen Years in the Khyber, 1879-1898 by : Sir Robert Warburton
Download or read book Eighteen Years in the Khyber, 1879-1898 written by Sir Robert Warburton and published by London, J. Murray. This book was released on 1900 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sir Robert Warburton (1842-99) was a British army officer who served for 18 years as the political officer, or warden, of the Khyber Pass, the most important of the mountain passes connecting Afghanistan and present-day Pakistan. He was born in Afghanistan, the son of a British officer and his wife, a noble Afghan woman who was the niece of Amir Dost Mohammad Khan. Warburton was educated in England, commissioned an officer, and served at posts in British India and in Abyssinia (present-day Ethiopia) before being appointed, in 1879, to his post in the Khyber. Home to the fiercely independent Pushtun Afridi people who resisted external control, the pass frequently had been blocked by the Afridis or by fighting among the hill tribes. Warburton is credited with keeping the frontier peaceful and the pass open, mainly though diplomacy rather than force. He drew upon his Afghan background and his fluent Persian and Pushto to gradually win the trust of tribesmen whose traditions made them deeply suspicious of outsiders. In August 1897, one month after Warburton's retirement, unrest broke out among the Afridis, who seized the pass and held it for several months. Warburton was called back into service and participated in the Tirah expedition of 1897-98, in which Anglo-Indian forces reopened the pass. Warburton was especially proud of the role played in the expedition by the Khyber Rifles, a paramilitary force recruited from Afridi tribesmen that he had raised and commanded. Eighteen Years in the Khyber, 1879-1898 is Warburton's account of his education and career. It touches upon virtually every individual and event that played a role in relations between Afghanistan and British India during the last quarter of the 19th century. Long in poor health, Warburton returned to England and died before the book was completed. Posthumously published, it is illustrated with a number of striking photographs and includes a detailed fold-out map of the Khyber.

Download or read book Savage Border written by Jules Stewart and published by The History Press. This book was released on 2007-02-22 with total page 291 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For centuries, Pakistan's North West Frontier has been seen as a lawless wilderness, which more recently has given sanctuary to Osama Bin Laden and other fundamentalist Muslim leaders. This, the first significant book on the territory for 40 years, includes first hand accounts of life and soldiering on the Frontier since the Second World War. It also tells how the British and invaders before and after the Raj, attempted to deal with this unpredictable land of the Pathans. The Savage Border provides an in-depth, highly accessible account of life and conflict on the North-West Frontier, covering not only the century of British rule since 1849, but also events since the creation of Pakistan in 1947. The author addresses key questions including 'What makes the Pathan so warlike and belligerent to outsiders, from Darius the Great in the 6th century BC to the US Marines in the 21st century AD?' and 'Can these tribesmen ever be brought into society's fold and persuaded to give up their terrorist comrades? The author is a specialist in North West Frontier affairs, who has travelled extensively in Pakistan.

Download or read book Gun Running and the Indian North-West Frontier written by Arnold Keppel and published by Gyan Books. This book was released on 1987 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The interest of the British public had been centred on the internal problems of the Indian Empire, and chiefly those connected with the Hindu portion of the population. As a result of the alarming wave of sedition that swept over Bengal, accpmpanied by Brahmanical revivals in the two Presidencies, the affairs of the North-West Frontier, together with the problems connected with the Mahommedan subjects of the King-Emperor, had gradually been relegated to a hazardous obscurity, and had not received. The crisis on the frontier in the autumn of 1910, as a direct result of the suppression of the arms traffic in the Persian Gulf, had the effect of switching tha limelight one again on to this most interesting quarter. People were at last beginning to realize that if the arming of the Pathan be,t continued a frontier rising in the future would be an affair of infinitely more gravity than therefore. But in spite of this the operations of the blockading squadron in the Persian Gulf were not sufficiently recognized as an integral part of frontier policy, and had attracted attention more from the hazardous nature of the undertaking than from any bearing that the ultimate suppression of the traffic might have on the tranquility of the frontier. It was with this object., namely of emphasizing the connection between the operations of the blocking squadron and the preservation of peace on the Pathan border, that the author ventured on the publication of this book. Though the book hardly brings the history of the frontier comprehensively and updated, it had proved to be of vital significance due to dearth of literature on the subject.
