Waziristan is a remote district of Pakistan populated by fiercely independent tribes who owe allegiance to no-one and unite only to repel invaders or wage jihad. Here, Roe captures the essence of Waziristan's tribal culture, explains how the British managed to contain this volatile area, and much more.
