This text explores the events of 1936, when a revolt broke out in Waziristan, a mountainous region of the North-West Frontier Province inhabited by warlike tribes. A Muslim holy man, the Faqir of Ipi, led the Wazirs against the occupying British-Indian regime for many years. The Wazirs' revolt was one of the greatest 20th-century South Asian insurgencies.
