good history of a lawless frontier regionNovember 17, 2008 Mark bennett(portland, OR) This is a good history of a lawless frontier region that many will hear talk of but few will ever visit. The authors cover the entire history of the pass and surronding region from the early persian experiences to modern times. The book will be of interest to people looking for information about Afghanistan, Pakistan and the history of how the region got to where it is today.
The authors are well-informed and experienced with regard to the region. Its a good light read on a timely historical topic.
