		The Story of the Malakand Field Force was Churchill's first book, the first of a long line ranging from this account of a border war up through the multi-volume works on World War I; his great ancestor the first Duke of Marlborough; World War II; and the English-Speaking Peoples.

		The young lieutenant also is brash enough to stretch beyond the frontier war to discuss Imperial policy, preferring the "Forward Policy" (basically, reach out to secure the frontier regions) to the "butcher and bolt policy" (basically, punish attacks and inroads, but without commitment to stabilizing the frontier).

		It is very important to note that presently, Malakand Division and PATA Areas are governed under PATA Regulations, and there are hardly any laws concerning human rights and good governance that are applicable to these areas.
