From the Black Mountain to Waziristan: Being an account of the border countries and the more turbulent of the tribes controlled by the north-west frontier province, and of our military relations with them in the past
_BROAD ARROW._—“Colonel Ross has placed before us in his book,
volume I., the many phases of the war, and particularly in regard to
the care or carelessness on the part of either combatant, which led
up to the procedure and development of each of the battles. These
comments are of the utmost value, especially to the student of
military history.... Colonel Ross’s book is one of the most valuable
additions to the history of this greatest of recent campaigns.”
_ARMY AND NAVY GAZETTE._—“Colonel Ross’s volume is a thoughtful
discussion of many questions which do not appear in the text-books,
and, at the same time, it is a useful and well-informed narrative,
illustrated by many excellent maps. We are sure that soldiers will
read a book of this kind with great and sustained interest.”
