| Charles Masson of Afghanistan Explorer, Archaeologist, Numismatist and Intelligence agent by Gordon Whitteridge 1986, 2002 184 pp., 13 b&w and 5 colour plates, 21.5 x 15 cm., hardbound. ISBN-10: 974-524-020-6 $22.95 ISBN-13: 978-974-524-020-9 Masson was one of the most remarkable of British explorers, who wandered over the Punjab, Baluchistan and Afghanistan, between 1827 and 1840, usually alone and on foot. In Kabul he collected vast quantities of coins which revealed previously unknown Graeco-Bactrian and Kushan monarchs and excavated a large number of Buddhist monuments. During his Afghan sojourn he became both an intimate of local amirs and warlords, and a reluctant participant in the Great Game. Masson's detailed observations of political intrigues, factional strife and social divides among the Afghan population retain significant relevance today, in our attempts to understand this complex and fractious society. "Details aside, Sir Gordon puts us vastly in debt by providing Masson's first biography. From this start research may begin to clear up remaining obscurities, yet Masson's personality will probably always remain an enigma." (Bulletin of SOAS, London) |
