Summary: "From the Black Mountain to Waziristan" by H. C. Wylly is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The work delves into the turbulent history of the tribes residing along the North-West Frontier Province of India and the military engagements involving British forces in this challenging terrain. It likely seeks to provide a comprehensive look at both the culture and military conflicts with the various tribes in the region, highlighting the complexities of these interactions over time. The opening of the book introduces the reader to the geographical and social landscape of the North-West Frontier, specifically focusing on the Pathan tribes that inhabit the area. Wylly reflects on the lack of available literature on these tribes and the ignorance of British officers regarding the cultural nuances and conflicts of the Pathans prior to military expeditions. He outlines the various clans, their territorial disputes, and longstanding blood feuds, emphasizing the rugged terrain that complicates relations and military engagements. Additionally, Wylly sets the stage for a detailed exploration of the tribes, their customs, and the historical context of military operations against them, underscoring the importance of understanding this region for effective military strategy.
