Please check your inbox, Chris, an off-list mail follows. Hopefully you'll find it somewhat useful. And here is something online - Review of the book ''The Future of The Great Game: Sir Olaf Caroe, India's Independence, and the Defense of Asia'' by Peter John Brobst; The University of Akron Press, Akron, Ohio; pages 199, $39.95 http://www.hindu.com/fline/fl2309/stories/20060519001908300.htm Cheers, --- Harshawardhan_Bosham Nimkhedkar ----- Original Message ----- From: "Chris Woods" I am looking for an obituary, or biography of Sir Olaf Caroe, 'last governor of the North West Frontier' and writer of many interesting articles and books including the definitive history of The Pathans. Every time I look on the web I am asked to either pay for the information, or access through some password controlled program such as 'Athens'. I would be most grateful for any information about Sir Olaf, in particular his latter life from his time as First Secretary in Britain's Government of India, until his death. An interesting and perhaps controversial man.

Dear Harshawardhan, Thank you very much for that - an interesting life, and his writing is very interesting, particuarly regarding his early history of The Pathans, and his interpretation of Herodotus and Alexander's route to India regards, Chris ----- Original Message ----- From: "Harshawardhan_Bosham Nimkhedkar" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, July 22, 2010 8:08 AM Subject: Re: [INDIA-BRITISH-RAJ] Sir Olaf Caroe - biography or obituary > Please check your inbox, Chris, an off-list mail follows. > Hopefully you'll find it somewhat useful. > > And here is something online - Review of the book ''The Future > of The Great Game: Sir Olaf Caroe, India's Independence, > and the Defense of Asia'' by Peter John Brobst; The University > of Akron Press, Akron, Ohio; pages 199, $39.95 > http://www.hindu.com/fline/fl2309/stories/20060519001908300.htm > > Cheers, > > --- Harshawardhan_Bosham Nimkhedkar >
