Description

The Anglo-Kuki War, 1917-1919: A Frontier Uprising Against Imperialism During the First World War This book explores the Kuki uprising against the British Empire during the First World War in the Northeast frontier of India. The three-year war had far-reaching consequences for the indigenous population and British attitudes towards the region, shaping military strategy, violence, politics, identity, institutions, gender, culture, and the broader geopolitics of the area. Drawing on archival sources, extensive fieldwork, and oral histories, this volume offers a significant contribution to understanding the complex geopolitics of the region. It will be of great interest to scholars and researchers studying South and Southeast Asian Studies, modern history, military strategy, insurgency, counterinsurgency, tribal warfare, and politics. The book provides valuable insights into the conflict's impact on the region within Asia and its relevance in world politics beyond the Great War.
