The Frontier Ablaze: The North-West Frontier Rising, 1897-98

Of all the actions fought on Indian's Northwest Frontier (today's Afghanistan and Pakistan), the campaign of 1897 was the most threatening to the British Empire. Barthorpe, an authority on the British Army and its uniforms, chronicles the year-long campaign to regain the Khyber Pass. His narrative is interspersed with numerous b&w photos. Color plates feature paintings showing uniforms of the various participants. Distributed in the US by Combined Books, Inc. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
