Through Amanullah’s Afghanistan: A Book of Travel

Author: Sorab K. H. Katrak

Year: 1929

In Through Amanullah’s Afghanistan , Katrak recounts his August 1928 expedition from the Khyber Pass through Peshawar, Kabul and onward across Afghanistan during the final months of Amanullah Khan’s reign. The travelogue captures landscapes, tribal societies, reforming courts and frontier security in a country on the edge of war. It offers a rare non-British perspective on Afghan life in the late 1920s, combining personal anecdote, cultural observation and political insight right before the 1929 Afghan civil war.
