It is fortunate that so able a scholar as Dr. Singhal has made this latest study of British policy on the north-west frontier of India. The book gives what may fairly be considered as a definitive account of the emergence, during the formative years between the Second Afghan War and the Anglo-Russian accord of 1907…It is based on substantially all of the useful original sources, public and private, that have survived from the period treated, with due reference, as well, to standard secondary works…The author’s style is pithy, the text studded with aphorisms; indeed, the book may be considered a classic in its field.
