Inhaltsangabe

Khyber Rifles is a familiar name to readers, mostly through the corps' association with the Khyber Pass. But in its 125 year history nothing has been written about these men who played a key role in Britain's struggle to dominate the North-West Frontier. This subject has sparked much literary interest since the events of September 11th, but this book fills a gap in North-West Frontier literature and its relevance lies in the fact that the Khyber Rifles still stand guard over one of the world's most volatile borders.
