2020BIBHB0210198192020. Hardcover. New. About the Book :- Through this rare work the author has tried to portray the unknown classic of geography surveying and adventure. He worked for the British government in India as a soldier and surveyor in fact one of the primary geographers who helped create the modern borders of Pakistan and Afghanistan. His book-- which discusses more than a decade of exploration in Afghanistan in and around 1890-- is a fascinating account of early European contact with Afghanistan and is pertinent for today. Surprisingly little has changed: jihads rough frontier warfare civil unrest foreign intervention--today the ugly American--and incredible hardship in one of the toughest places on this planet--the frontier of Pakistan and Afghanistan. At the time the British Empire forces in India wanted to create a definite border between their India and the wilds of Afghanistan--partly because of their fear of Russian incursions into the region. It contains 22 illustrations and a map. The book is good for common readers.
