Book Overview

The Tribes On My Frontier: An Indian Naturalist's Foreign Policy is a non-fiction book written by Edward Hamilton Aitken. The book is a collection of essays and observations made by the author during his time as a British colonial officer in India. Aitken was also a naturalist and had a keen interest in the flora and fauna of India. The book provides a unique perspective on Indian society, culture, and politics during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
