VICTORIAN REPRINT SERIES # 6 Originally published in 1912, this is probably the single best one volume account of British campaigns against the tribes along India's North-West Frontier. It covers in detail 27 frontier campaigns from the Black Mountain Expedition of 1852, to the Mohmand Field Force in 1908. Included are such campaigns as the 1863 Ambela campaign, the 1866 Black Mountain expedition, Jowaki 1877-78, Zakha Kel 1878-79, Mahsud 1881, Black Mountain 1888, 1891 Miranzi Field Force, the Mahsud campaign of 1884-85, the 1895 Chitral Relief Force, the 1897 Frontier Uprisings with the operations of the Tochi, Malakand, Buner, Tirah, Peshawar and Kurram Field Forces.
In addition to a detailed operational narrative, thewre are numerous appendices, including a list of British & Indian regiments, with what campaigns each unit served in. This work will be especially helpful to Brfitish medal collectors for its information on these many small campaigns.

Great Historical Review
7 Oct 2010
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in British Imperial Rule. This book is a survey of the various British Military Campaigns in the Northwest Provinces of India, what is now modern day Pakistan. The book was written in the early 1900's by an officer in the Royal Artillery as a guidebook to prepare new officers with valuable information and insight on what to expect from a tribal, warlike people.
