Publisher's Synopsis
This book provides a fascinating glimpse into a little-known chapter in the history of British colonialism in India. The Persian Boundary Commission was tasked with mapping the border between Persia (modern-day Iran) and India in the late 19th century. The team of British soldiers, diplomats, and engineers encountered numerous challenges along the way, from harsh weather to dangerous bandits. The book includes detailed maps and illustrations, as well as vivid descriptions of the landscapes and cultures encountered on the journey. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of British imperialism in Asia.
