Superb, well written and often mildly humorous account of the frontier which almost makes it make sense, which I think is an extraordinary achievement! (

Good overall history of the Khyber (Northwest Frontier) area of India - recounting in chronological order much of what I had already read about elsewhere - my goodness it was a lawless, troubled area! (
