This region provides the backdrop for Walks in Waziristan, a collection of anecdotes during the years leading up to the partition of India in 1947. Written by Graham Reed, Walks recounts Reed's real-life experiences serving the final leg of a tour of duty that began in war-torn Europe.

His "walks" comprise of a series of vignettes that amble along pleasurably - from encounters with the local Pashtun warriors and culturally confusing interactions with his Indian army counterparts to his experiences with the intricacies of military bureaucracy. Reed's storytelling is never dull. His lucid observations are combined with a self-effacing humour and sense of humanity that is sure to charm his readers.
