Acquire The Savage Border: The Story Of The North-West Frontier Depicted By Jules Stewart Copy

thoroughly researched and informed historical review of the Pashtun border tribes of what is

now Pakistan, It gives a very interesting account of the history of the various border tribes through their pleasant ormostlyunpleasant interactions with the British colonial forces.
A mustread for anyone wanting to understand the history, nature, and character of the border tribes,  Pakistan's North West Frontier is portrayed as a land of Wild West lawlessness and Muslim extremism, Certainly, the Pathan tribesmen of the Sunni sect who inhabit this rugged territory do not welcome intruders into their closed society,   The frontier has recently captured the attention of all who follow world events through the media, It is generally taken for granted that Osama Bin Laden, Mullah Omar and other Al Qaeda and Taliban leaders are in hiding in tribal territory within the North West Frontier, sheltered by Pathan tribesmen whose code of honor requires them to protect anyone seeking refuge.
The Pathan recognizes no outside authority and his homeland is arguably the only place in the world where no rule of law prevails, other than Pakhtunwali, the tribal code of honor.
The Savage Border fills the gap in the available literature by providing an indepth readable account of life and conflict on the North West Frontier, covering not only the century of British rule since, but also events since the creation of Pakistan in.
This book is the first significant history of the North West Frontier for more thanyears, .
