A daring move, the invasion took the British and Indian governments by surprise. To repel the Afghans, they launched a massive land and air campaign, mobilising a third of a million troops. Despite facing this military might, the Afghans - aided by the North-West Frontier tribes - almost won the war. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFrontier Assault tells the story of the Third Anglo-Afghan War through the eyes of the men who fought it. The North Staffordshire Regiment was one of the first units dispatched to halt the Afghan advance. They defeated the enemy vanguard in a tenacious mountain assault in the Khyber Pass. After, they led the British counter-attack into Afghanistan. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eCommemorating the 100th Anniversary of the war, Frontier Assault is illustrated with over 50 original photographs and maps. Extensive appendices include a history of the North Staffords, a timeline of the war, orders of battles, honours and awards, and casualty lists. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eOne of only a few books ever written about a forgotten campaign, this contemporary account is immensely readable.
