Who, or why, or how or what? opens one of Edward Lear s limericks Is the Akond of Swat? The answer to the question lies within this book - a newspaperman s account of a British military expedition mounted against Chtral, Swat and Bajour in 1895. The Akond was the religious leader of Swat, an area on India s ever turbulent north-west fronteir, renowned for its religious piety and its jealously preserved Purdah ( the word literally means curtain ) which was kept firmly closed against foreign incursions until the campaign narrated in this book. This is an excellent account of a colonial campaign in a tough area where the truculence of the tribespeople towards the British is more than matched by the harshness of the terrain.Thompson s prose is clear and straightforward and the events he recounts exciting and tense. He makes no pretence to be writing an official history, but, what is possibly more valuable, tells a great story. The book is profusely illustrated with some sixty photographs, plus sketches, plans and maps. A must for anyone interested in British India in late Victorian times.

Excerpt from The Chitral Campaign: A Narrative of Events in Chitral, Swat, and Bajour How this book comes to be written requires a word of explanation. At the beginning of the year I had to go to India on business, and on my arrival in Bombay on March 15th, I found that a force was to be sent through Swat and Bajour to relieve the beleaguered garrison of Chitral.
