Bayonets Along the Border (32 page)
Once again it is a pleasant duty to acknowledge the help of the staff at London Library in researching this book; the constant support and encouragement of my agent, Jane Conway-Gordon; the work of Susie Dunlop and her staff at my publishers Allison & Busby – surely the most willing and delightful bunch of girls in British publishing! – and, as ever, my wife Betty, research assistant, proofreader and loving and constant supplier of tea and coffee.
The Pathan Revolt is rather tucked away in the annals of the British Empire and I found comparatively few books of merit written about it. The following, however, were of great help:
The Frontier Ablaze
, by Michael Barthorp, Windrow & Green, London, 1996 (particularly good on maps and geography).
The Savage Border
, by Jules Stewart, Sutton Publishing, Stroud, 2007.
My Early Life
, by Winston Churchill, published (paperback), Scribner, 1997.
The Colonial Wars Source Book
by Phillip J. Hawthornthwaite, Arms and Armour Press, London, 1995.

According to author John Wilcox, an inability to do sums and a nascent talent for stringing words together steered him towards journalism – that and the desire to wear a trench coat, belted with a knot, just like Bogart. After an award-winning career as a journalist, he was lured into industry. In the mid-nineties he sold his company in order to devote himself to his first love, writing. He has now published ten novels in the highly acclaimed Simon Fonthill series, as well as two works of non-fiction.
