Adye writes in the Preface: The subject of our policy on the North-West frontier of India is one of great importance, as affecting the general welfare of our Eastern Empire, and is specially interesting at the present time, when military operations on a considerable scale are being conducted against a combination of the independent tribes along the frontier. In the following pages I have attempted to give a short historical summary of its varying phases, in the hope that I may thus assist the public in some degree to understand its general bearings, and to form a correct opinion of the policy which should be pursued in the future. Contents: Events Prior To, and including, First Afghan War of 1839-41; Events Prior, and Leading Up, to Second Afghan War; and Frontier Policy Since Second Afghan War, including Expedition to Chitral. |
