This work provides a chronological account of the struggle between the Afghan Amirs of Kabul and the Manghit Dynasty of Bukhara for the Balkh province (wilayat) during the 18th and 19th centuries. Drawing on India Office Records, Persian and native oral sources, the book provides an insight into an important Central Asian region. Structured around the history of Maimana's Mingid dynasty, the book also details the various military campaigns, whilst also examining critically Britain and Russia's role in the "Afghanistan" of Balkh during the period of the "Great Game". The book is intended to be of significance to historians since it questions conventional perceptions of Central Asia during the era of European imperialism and examines Balkh's social and economic situation. Maps, charts, photographs and dynastic charts are included in the text.
