What it's about

*With the Afghans* by Claud Field (1908) offers a vivid account of Afghan society, culture, and religious life during the British colonial period. Drawing from personal experience along the North-West Frontier, Field explores the customs, poetry, and spiritual beliefs of the Pashtun tribes. He reflects on the complex character of Afghans—courageous, independent, and deeply religious—while discussing the challenges of missionary work in the region. The book includes observations on political unrest, particularly the 1897 tribal uprising, and presents both admiration and critique from a Christian missionary’s viewpoint. It serves as a historical and cultural snapshot of early 20th-century Afghanistan.
