Waziristan, a region on the border between Afghanistan and Pakistan, has in recent years become a flash point in the so-called 'War on Terror'. Hugh Beattie looks at the history of this region, examining British attempts to manage the tribes from 1849 until Pakistan's declaration of independence in 1947. He explores British attempts to divide the frontier region into separate British and Afghan spheres of influence. In the minds of British policymakers, this demarcation would secure the position of the Empire, and so Beattie highlights the various policy initiatives towards the frontier region over the period in question. Crucially, he analyses how the British perceived the local tribes, what constituted authority within tribal frameworks, and the military and political ramifications of these perceptions. As he also explores the contemporary relevance of this region, taking into account the resurgence of the Taliban in Waziristan, Beattie's analysis is vital for those interested in the history and security implications of the Afghan frontier with Pakistan.

Great value

Excellent, solid built shelves. Comes with every type of fastener you could possibly need to install. Even comes with a small level. Very impressed with it all and highly recommend.

Nice shelf, install a bit problematic
Color: Dark Walnut, Size: 8.5inch(2PCS)
Nice little shelf, looks great, feels stable enough for my small accent lamp. Two issues: 1. The cutout in the corner is perfect for a cord >>>BUT<<< the plug itself CANNOT fit though that hole. You have to feed the cord through BEFORE INSTALL. So once it’s in, it’s IN. 2. Install seems pretty straight forward but it was not so easy! The rails are too thick for a pencil to go through the screw hole to mark placement. I had to physically hold everything in place and leveled WHILE I drilled. Rather annoying.

Great item!
Color: Natural Wood, Size: 8.5inch(2PCS)
These shelves were great! I put them in the bathroom and helped with added space for holding candle and items to help keep counter clear.

Good quality
Color: Dark Walnut, Size: 11.2inch(2PCS)
These were the perfect fit, and they came with all the necessary hardware. We like them so much that we bought a different size for another room in our house, and they were perfect as well. They are a very nice quality wood. It's not that cheap stuff that will fall apart.
