Also included are twelve Appendices detailing the units of the British forces in 1917 and 1919 the terms delivered to the Waziris and Mahsuds lists of British casualties and approximate numbers of the different specific tribes of the Mahsuds and Waziris involved in the conflict. In 1919 the short-lived Third Anglo-Afghan War concluded with the British ceding legal control of Afghan foreign affairs in return for the recognition by the Afghans of the Durand Line. Despite this a rumour spread amongst the Waziri and Mahsud tribesmen that the British intended to cede their territory to the British. They quickly conducted a series of raids against neighbouring settlements in the North-West Frontier in late 1919 causing over 400 casualties. Major-General Sir Andrew Skeen led the British response against the Tochi Waziris and Mahsuds in November of 1919. The campaign a took over 12 months due to the inexperience of the British units mainly comprised of light Indian divisions. The decisive eight-day battle of Ahnai Tangi involving the stand of the 2nd/5th Gurkhas immortalised in several paintings broke the Mahsud offensive and quickly resulted in a calming of violence and allowed the British to deliver their terms of control. Despite the apparent British victory the 1919-1920 campaign led to a change of policy in Waziristan. Britain decided to station permanent garrisons and have a much closer relationship with the irregular military units used. A large number of the locally raised troops had defected to the Waziris and Mahsuds during the campaign and it was hoped these measures would prevent further desertion. Britain also attempted a road construction effort in the region but this was seen as invasive and caused further conflict up to 1924. This copy was used by a member of the 1st Battalion of The Royal Scots during the time they were station in Secunderabad Hyderabad between 1922 and 1925.

First edition of the British-Indian army s official account of the 1919-20 Waziristan campaign marked "Confidential" on the title-page. The operations followed unrest that arose in the aftermath of the Third Anglo-Afghan War; they were conducted in the mountainous region of Waziristan now in Pakistan by British and Indian forces against the fiercely independent Waziri and Mahsud tribesmen that inhabited it. Since the 1870s the British government agencies were assiduous in compiling internally published histories of their military frontier operations with the intention of providing a "valuable guide" to such British commanders and policy makers as "might have future dealings with these turbulent neighbours" as the Punjab Government phrased it in 1866.

1921Best.-Nr. NL-02287Frontier warfare and colonial cartography: 1921 Survey of India "Confidential" atlas documenting the British campaign in Waziristan. This highly detailed 1921 confidential British-Indian general staff report produced by the Survey of India documents the Waziristan military operations of 19191920 along the volatile frontier of the Northwest Boundary. The publication includes a frontispiece 31 plates seven maps three of which are pocket-folded and eight folding panoramic illustrations that chronicle both the terrain and troop dispositions. The maps provide tactical clarity on routes native strongholds topographic obstacles and British positions. At the same time the accompanying text analyzes operational strategy lessons learned and the emergent use of air power in tribal warfare. Waziristan now in Pakistan had long been viewed by the British as a strategically critical and persistently unstable frontier region inhabited by fiercely autonomous Waziri and Mahsud tribes. The 19191920 campaign followed the Third Anglo-Afghan War during which boundary tensions and local insurrections compelled renewed military intervention. This report presents not just the operational narrative but also the institutional mindset of early 20th-century colonial warfare combining detailed cartography with doctrinal reflection. Cartographers: The Survey of India established in 1767 under Major James Rennell and expanded during British rule served as the paramount cartographic and geodetic agency in India. By 1921 it had become central to mapping the subcontinent for both civil administration and military planning. In this instance the Survey's maps reflect the dual imperative of geographic precision and strategic control making this report an indispensable source for scholars of South Asian military history cartography and colonial frontier dynamics. Condition Description Good. Some wear on cover. Fold lines and some marginal imperfections on maps views and illustrations. Survey of India
In-8, broché (sans couverture), 23 p. Edition originale. En réponse à la proposition de Fontenay, au nom du comité de commerce, qui demandait que les droits sur les retours de l’Inde fussent dirigés uniquement vers le port de Lorient, Mirabeau préconise la liberté absolue du commerce et de l'industrie. Il s'élève contre tout type de prohibition, en la matière, l'obligation faite aux commerçants de se faire livrer dans un port déterminé leurs marchandises venant de l'Inde. (Goldsmiths'-Kress, n°14189. INED, 3190bis. Martin & Walter, 24517). Bon exemplaire, très frais.
