This book vividly conveys Britain's century-long preoccupation with the Frontier, from the first disastrous adventure into Afghanistan until her withdrawal in 1947. Inevitably, it is chiefly a story of conflict, of bloody struggle against determined and cunning opponent, amid pitiless terrain. There was bravery, cruelty, devotion, and trickery on both sides, but there developed a redeeming thread of mutual respect, even affection, between Briton and Pathan which survived the hostility between them.
