From The Black Mountain To Waziristan is a non-fiction book written by Harold C. Wylly. The book is a personal account of the author's experiences as a British Army officer during the early 20th century in India and the Northwest Frontier Province (modern-day Pakistan). The book covers the author's time as a young subaltern in the Black Mountain region of India, where he was involved in the suppression of a tribal rebellion. It then follows his career as he rises through the ranks and is eventually posted to Waziristan, where he was involved in the operations against the Mahsud and Wazir tribes. The book provides a detailed and vivid account of the military campaigns, the terrain, the people, and the culture of the region. It also offers insights into the challenges and complexities of colonial rule in India and the relationship between the British Army and the local tribes. Overall, From The Black Mountain To Waziristan is a valuable historical document that provides a unique perspective on the British Empire's military operations in India and the Northwest Frontier Province.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
