Amongst the greatest of stories...

This book journeys with the great adventurers of the days of the Raj into the upper reaches of the British Empire. Filled with the history of Kashmir, Afghanistan and Tibet from this period. This book would be well complimented by Steven Tanner'sAfghanistan for the history of that region.
