Compiled in the Intelligence Branch, Division of the Chief of the Staff, Army Headquarters, India, this landmark work brings together detailed accounts of expeditions, surveys, and official reports relating to the frontier regions north of the Kabul River. Based on first-hand records, intelligence notes, and field observations, the volume provides invaluable information on the geography, tribal societies, routes, passes, political relations, and military operations in one of the most strategic and least accessible regions of the subcontinent. An indispensable resource for students of South Asian history, military studies, frontier policy, and anthropology, this work offers a rare and authoritative glimpse into the lands, peoples, and geopolitics of the north-west frontier during the period of British India.
