Frontier Fighters: On Active Service in Warziristan by Walter Cummings HB 70/9J BRAND NEW These are fascinating memoirs of a British officer who fought the legendary Pathan tribesmen of the North-West Frontier, right up to the beginning of WW2. He describes desperate battles against this highly skilled and ruthless enemy. Pathan atrocities were common-place and no prisoners were taken. Cummings served in two Frontier units, the South Waziristan Scouts and the Corps of Guides. Waziristan, then the home of Wazirs and Mahsuds, the most war like of Pathan tribes, is today sanctuary for Al Qaeda and Taleban terrorists. Frontier Fighters describes the closing stages of Britain's imperial presence on the sub-continent. Yet beside the pig sticking, polo and hunting, there was great excitement danger and gallantry. A unique bond existed between the British and their native troops. Paradoxically Cumming went on to command a Pathan regiment in North Africa in WW2. AUTHOR Born at Quetta (now Pakistan) Walter Cummings enlisted in the Indian Army during the Great War and became a Viceroy Commissioned Officer. His units, the South Waxiristan Scouts and The Corps of Guides, were highly respected and consistently deployed to the most dangerous areas. Jules Stewart is a former academic and journalist who has lived in Europe and the USA. He is now freelance and his published works focus on the Indian sub continent. The North-West frontier has a dramatic and glamorous image . The author served with native troops for twenty years fighting the skilled and ruthless Pathan tribesmen during the 'peaceful' inter-war years . The area today is rife with Taleban and Al Qaeda supporters and remains one of the most dangerous places on earth, and much in the news . Dramatic fighting action throughout with atmospheric descriptions of life for a young British officer. Reads like a first class adventure novel ILLUSTRATIONS 16 pages of b/w plates *
