Includes Bibliography and Index.
Lively account of Britain's troubles with Afghanistan and India's Northwest Frontier. Not as comprehensive as Peter Hopkirk's Great Game Trilogy, and Miller's conversational style is a bit excessive, as when he refers to the Mad Mullah's proclamations as "crap" or compares a Pakistani official to Telly Savalas. Miller is to be commended though for his grasp of the ethnic, religious and tribal fault lines in Central Asia
