Editorial Reviews
Book Description
A first hand narrative of the British Empire's final phase of expansion in late nineteenth century British India. The references, dates, and political analysis represent a primary source of imperial dynamics and mentalities. The book is a faithful account of the policy pursued on the Gilgit
frontier, of the steps taken to give it effect, and of the results attained.
