PREFACE
THE following pages are compiled, with the aid of the official despatches, from the rough diaries of two officers, who, belonging to 'different brigades of the force, were fortunate enough between them to witness the events described, with the exception of that portion of Chapter XII. which deals with the operations under Major-General Elles, C, B. For many of the illustrations their thanks are due to Major Biddulph, 19th Bengal
Lancers, Captain Hewett, Royal West Kent, and Lieutenant Dixon, 16th Lancers, who by their kind contributions have endeavoured to lend an interest to a book which otherwise is merely a plain record of the part taken by the Malakand and Buner Field Forces in the recent Frontier Campaign.

MODERN WARFARE
A French View of Counterinsurgency
BY: Roger Trinquier
January 1985
127 Pages - 6 MB
This volume in the Praeger Security International (PSI) series Classics of the Counterinsurgency Era reveals how French officers who served in Indochina, like the author, Roger Trinquier, fought fierce rear-guard actions against ideologically motivated insurgents in the 1940s and 1950s to a far greater extent than their American counterparts later faced in Vietnam. The lack of coherent strategic direction from Paris in the chaotic years of the Fourth Republic left the military with the task of making political decisions in the field. With the original introduction by Bernard B. Fall and a new foreword prepared by Eliot A. Cohen.

To the UNDER SECRETARY OF STATE FOR INDIA, India Office,
Whitehall, S.W.
No. 20. LONDON, 9th March 1892.
SIR,—I have the honour to acknowledge receipt of Mr Secretary Walpole's letter, P.W. 218, of 23d February 1892, for which I am obliged. It informed me that my last letters had been transmitted to the Government of India.
There being a break in my correspondence with his lordship the Secretary of State for India on the subject of railway communications in Burmah, pending the consideration of the matter by the Government of India, to whom, as I am informed, his lordship has submitted it ; and feeling my interest in the development of Burmah, and especially of the Arakan division of that province, unabated,—I beg respectfully to ask the permission and sanction of his lordship the Secretary of State for India to the publication of the correspondence I have had the honour to hold with his lordship during the last three years.
The capabilities of the port of Akyab in Arakan as a great shipping port for the trade of Eastern Bengal and Burmah do not seem yet to be appreciated either by the Government or the public ; and it is my desire, before my work is over, to bring these again more prominently to notice by a reprint of the most salient points of the subject, stated in correspondence and journals, during the last thirty years in which I have advocated its claims to consideration, but hitherto the advantages of the port have not been availed of to the extent they undoubtedly deserve.
I have the honour to be, sir, your obedient servant,
J. OGILVY HAY.
