This comprehensive study is the first scholarly account explaining how the British and Indian armies adapted to the peculiar demands of fighting an irregular tribal opponent in the mountainous no-man's-land between India and Afghanistan. It does so by discussing how a tactical doctrine of frontier fighting was developed and 'passed on' to succeeding generations of soldiers. As this book conclusively demonstrates this form of colonial warfare always exerted a powerful influence on the organisation, equipment, training and ethos of the Army in India.

Bowker LLC. All Rights Reserved. Summary The Ahmadis : Community, Gender, and Politics in a Muslim Society by Gualtieri, Antonio Terms of use Ahmadi Muslims are in a minority wherever they live. They are strongly committed to supernatural revelation and governance by the divine. They maintain exacting standards of authority, family life, and relations between the sexes. They are despised by Muslim fundamentalists. They have endured hostility, imprisonment, and mob violence. However, in this sequel to his previous work with the Ahmadi, Gualtieri (religion emeritus, Carlton U.) finds they seek to maintain their identity and remain apart, even amongst the Sunni in Pakistan. Gualtieri includes new interviews with elders, families, and women seeking education, examines the conditions of Ahmadi communities after 9/11, and their continued rejection of modernity in any aspect of their lives. He also examines some of the charges their enemies have leveled at them, including Zionism, and the very limited hope that they ever be allowed a state of their own in Pakistan as an indigenous people.

The New Great Game written by Lutz Kleveman and has been published by Grove Press this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2003 with Business & Economics categories.
In the tradition of The Prize, Lutz Kleveman gives us the twenty-first-century chapter on the history, passion, and politics of oil and gas resources, and the struggle to control them in a critical part of the world. Using the concept of the "Great Game" that Rudyard Kipling immortalized in his novel Kim, Kleveman argues that there is now a new Great Game in the region, a modern variant of the nineteenth-century clash of imperial ambitions of Great Britain and Tsarist Russia. Traveling thousands of miles, from Turkmenistan (where statues of the country's leader are made of gold and line the thoroughfares) to the Afghan Hindu Kush, Kleveman met with the principal Great Game actors between Kabul and Moscow: oil barons, generals, diplomats, and warlords. Based on extensive research and travel in the Caucasus, the Caspian, and Central Asia, The New Great Game is a thrilling travel narrative through one of the world's last unexplored frontiers, and a savvy and incisive analysis of the power struggle for the world's remaining energy resources.
