Excerpt from Lands and Peoples, Vol. 4: The World in Color, Including a Special Survey of the League of NationsBeyond the rugged mountains that bound India on the west from Chitral to Baluchistan lies the Mohammedan state of Afghanistan. In this mountainous land dwell the wild tribes to whom one usually refers as Afghans. The various tribes, however, differ greatly from one another, though all Afghans are born fighters, intensely independent and (with the exception of the pagan Kahrs) fanatical. Though wireless and aeroplanes are used in Afghanistan and the Ameer has motor cars, there are few roads and no railways. The ancient caravan routes are still in use. The land is virtually closed to foreigners and some parts are almost unexplored.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
