Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book details the Zhob Field Force's 1890 expedition into Afghanistan. Prior to this, the Gomal Pass and Zhob Valley were unknown territory to the British due to both the aggressive and reclusive nature of the nomadic tribes that inhabited the area and the challenging terrain. The author, himself a member of the force, provides a first-hand account of the political, commercial, and military importance of the region, as well as the strategic significance of the Zhob Valley, which provided access to key trade routes and Afghan strongholds. The book summarizes earlier expeditions into the area and provides detail of the force's formation, which included infantry, cavalry, artillery, and support units. It describes the challenges of navigating the region's geography, the force's division into three columns, and the ultimate convergence on Tahnishpa, a stronghold controlled by the infamous Bungal Khan. The author provides insights into the political landscape of the region, describing the negotiations and confrontations with local tribes and the ultimate capture and destruction of Bungal Khan's stronghold. The book offers a rich description of the terrain, the challenges of resupply, and the day-to-day life of the soldiers involved in the expedition. This book provides a valuable historical account of the Zhob Field Force expedition, shedding light on the geopolitical complexities and military strategies of the era, and offering a unique glimpse into a remote and fascinating region. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
