Firsthand account of British military operations on the North-West Frontier of India during the Malakand and Buner campaigns of 1897-1898. Written by Viscount Fincastle (Alexander Murray), who was awarded the Victoria Cross for his service during the campaign, and P. C. Eliott-Lockhart, both authors served in the field and provide a detailed account of the fighting, troop movements, and the challenges of campaigning in the difficult frontier terrain. Combining personal experience with military observation, the book offers a valuable insight into British frontier warfare and the tactics employed during these late nineteenth-century campaigns.
