Operations in Waziristan, 1919-1920 - Paperback

by India Army General Staff Branch (Author)

On the turbulent North-West Frontier of India in 1919-1920, imperial authority collided with tribal resistance in a harsh landscape of ridges, ravines and ambush. The frontier was on edge. Compiled by the General Staff Branch of the India Army, *Operations in Waziristan, 1919-1920* is an official campaign history book that traces the conduct of the Waziristan 1919-1920 campaign from the inside: intentions, organisation, columns in motion and the stubborn, often costly, contact with Wazir tribes. At once British India military history and a rigorous colonial frontier warfare study, it examines tribal frontier operations and the demands of mountain warfare in India with a clarity that continues to inform serious readers. As a primary source on British Raj army campaigns and British Indian frontier wars along the North-West Frontier of India, it speaks directly to those seeking northwest frontier campaigns history, whether for military historians, students of imperial policy, or readers building a wargaming campaign reference book grounded in authentic detail rather than legend. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure, preserving a pivotal record of arms, empire and resistance on one of the world's most contested frontiers.
