For generations of British and Indian officers and men, the North-West Frontier was the scene of repeated skirmishes and major campaigns against the trans-border Pathan tribes who inhabited the mountainous no-man's land between India and Afghanistan. This scholarly study explains how units of the army in India adapted to the particular requirements of this distinctive form of colonial warfare which represented an enduring military problem for these guardians of the Raj. Frontier fighting during the nineteenth century prompted the development of a unique doctrine for operations in mountainous terrain against an irregular tribal opponent. This book traces how these specialised principles and minor tactics were refined and passed on to later generations of soldiers between 1849 and 1947, in the form of a specialised written doctrine and system of training. It also shows how the insistent demands of 'small wars' in tribal territory exerted a powerful influence on the organisation, equipment, training and ethos of the army in India until Independence in August 1947.
