Issued by the Intelligence Department for official use only by the Government of India as a practical military and political handbook of this region of the North-West Frontier and Afghanistan. Sources were officers in the field and their clandestinely-employed local tribesmen. The work, along with other tribal monographs, route books and military reports were classified and subject to strict rules of custody. It was also ordered that when a new edition of a particular work appeared all previous editions had to be destroyed. As a result these works survive in very few locations. (Finding Aid. British Intelligence Files on Afghanistan and its Frontiers, c. 1888-1946, IDC Publishers, 2003).
