Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Nevill examines major operations including the Ambela campaign of 1863, the Chitral Relief Force of 1895, and the widespread Frontier Uprisings of 1897, involving the Malakand, Tirah and Tochi Field Forces. His approach is notably analytical, concentrating on orders of battle, force composition, movements and the tactical and strategic considerations governing each operation. The work also illustrates the changing character of frontier warfare. Earlier punitive expeditions gave way, particularly after 1890, to increasingly demanding operations as tribal forces acquired modern European firearms. Extensive appendices list the British and Indian Army regiments involved in individual campaigns, adding considerable value for military historians and British medal collectors. Combining operational analysis with detailed reference material, Nevill's study remains an important account of Britain's frontier warfare in India.
