Sir Francis Younghusband, would later be the Political Agent on the expedition to Tibet and also the Governor General of the Cashmere, wrote about the border intrigues and battles in the Northwest Frontier of Imperial India. The areas where these events took place are actually well known to anyone who has read about the Mountain Climbers who traveled to the Karakorum to scale K2, and the other high mountains in the region. These expeditions traveled through the same areas and they were little changed from 1895 until the late 1950s. ...All in all, this is a great adventure book of true events when 100 men with rifles could capture a province. Poison, murder, palace intrigue, conquest, and revolutions are all present. The book is written in a language commensurate of the age and it may seem a bit stilted, but it's a great (and very real) adventure story.This is a true story of the relief of a besieged garrison in the hills bordering the great Karakorum mountain range (the old Northwest Frontier). Sir Francis Younghusband was one of the great adventurers of British India. The language in the book is a bit stilted as it is a product of a different era, but that is a minor consideration. It should be noted that this was the time when a bold man with a few followers (no more than 100 men with rifles) could conquer a territory and proclaim himself king.
Note: The palace intrigues & murders are enough to make even Machiavelli blush!
For another great adventure, also get: The Heart of a Continent (http://smile.amazon.com/Heart-Continent-Narrative-Manchuria-Himalayas-ebook/dp/B00UDV0KCO/)
And, this book may also give a perspective of the area: In The Throne Room of the Mountain Gods, by Galen Rowell. (Currently out of print.)

The Relief Of Chitral Sir George 1859 Younghusband Sir Francis 18631942 Younghusband 9781246887228 Books Reviews
The writing is fine... But the photos are at best fuzzy... The maps, if they were 2 pages, are cut in half. you have half of one page and half of another. The most important photo is the first photo... Its a group shot. In the original they are all named. But in this photo ... no names ... nothing.
If you buy it to read... its ok. But if you want to see what they are referring to... forget about it. Buy an old version.
