For generations of British soldiers and administrators, India's North-West Frontier with Afghanistan constituted an imperial obsession. A combination of fears of the local Pashtun population and external invasion convinced many in the Raj that the region was the one place in India where the British could suffer a 'knock-out blow". In this cultural and political study, Marsh explores the impact of this belief on the Afghan frontier, India as a whole, and British imperial ideology between 1918 and 1948, and examines British attempts to seal off the frontier from the rest of India, the role of state sanctioned violence in the region, the rise of a local nationalist movement, and the relationship between British perceptions and policies on the frontier to the long-term decline of British supremacy in South Asia.
