Excellent . . . His masterful grasp of events is embellished with vivid reconstructions of ancient warriors tramping through the Pass. Helena Drysdale, Spectator The Khyber Pass, more than any other place on earth, has shaped the fate of civilisations. Thirty miles long, and in places no more than sixteen metres wide, the Pass is the main route between India and Central Asia and the path of invasion for generations of conquerors, missionaries and refugees. In this stimulating history, Paddy Docherty, who has studied and travelled extensively in the region, takes us from Alexander the Great and Genghis Khan right up to the terrorists and drug barons who inhabit the Pass today. Fascinating . . . The value of Paddy Docherty s book lies in its encapsulating in one volume the blood-soaked, spiritually charged history of one of the world s most interesting and savagely beautiful little corners. Literary Review [Docherty s] enthusiasm for his subject is infectious. Saul David, Sunday Telegraph
