Chitral - George Scott Robertson - Bog

Chitral: The Story Of A Minor Siege is a historical account of the siege of Chitral in 1895-96. The book is written by George Scott Robertson, who was the political agent in Chitral during the siege. The siege occurred when the ruler of Chitral was overthrown by his brother, and a British force was sent to restore order. However, the force was trapped in Chitral by a snowstorm, and the local population, along with the rebels, laid siege to the British garrison. The book provides a detailed account of the events leading up to the siege, the siege itself, and the eventual relief of the garrison. It also includes information on the geography, culture, and history of the region. The book is considered an important historical document, as it provides a firsthand account of the siege from someone who was there. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of British colonialism in South Asia.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
