The Defiant Border

Beschreibung

The Defiant Border explores why the Afghan-Pakistan borderlands have remained largely independent of state controls from the colonial period into the twenty-first century. It will appeal to scholars of South Asia, decolonization, and the Cold War and to general readers seeking historical context for the 'war on terror' in Afghanistan.
