ONE HALF OF ALEXANDER'S ARMY MARCHED THROUGH THE KHYBER PASS~ At the narrow confine by Ali Masjid, where the Khyber closes to just feet in width, the army would have squeezed through, two or three abreast, looking up warily at the steep heights immediately above them; unknown creatures might inhabit these mountains, for assuredly India was full of wonders." The Khyber Pass. The name itself is fraught with a palpable sense of danger. A steep gorge separating Afghanistan from Pakistan and the northern states of India, the pass is at some stretches only fifty feet wide, and extends for about thirty miles through the Sefid Koh~ the "White Mountains"~ from Afghanistan in the west to the plains of Peshawar in the east. A locale of arresting beauty, it has for generations been the unconquerable linchpin of Central Asia. In The Khyber Pass: A History of Empire and Invasion, Paddy Docherty, who traveled extensively through the pass in 2003, combines the close observations of the sympathetic traveler with the analysis of the engaged historian. From a close examination of original texts, archaeological sites, ancient coins, and other artifacts, Docherty traces the history of the pass from the campaigns of the Persian emperors Cyrus and Darius to Alexander the Great, to the days of the British Raj, and modern Pakistan and Afghanistan. Docherty tells tales of conquering armies, diabolical intrigue, and intermarriage among clans; of the flourishing of culture and thought, and the cross~fertilization of Buddhism, Islam, Sikhism, and Zoroastrianism. But in the pass, the present is always presaged by the past. To this day, the pass is important strategically and militarily, from its part in the defeat of the great Soviet army by the Afghan mujahadeen, to its crucial role in the current conflict with AI Qaeda and the Taliban. Docherty helps us see the region afresh and chronicles events that reverberate and resonate today.

Tidy ex-library, imperial octavo hardcover (VG+) in d/w (VG+); all our specials have minimal description to keep listing them viable.

They want to keep their actions secret, but their grand designs have to be public so they can amaze the universe. For as long as there has been language, there has been the need to keep information from prying eyes. In this fascinating compendium, puzzlemaster Pierre Berloquin explores the evolution of cipher and aesthetic codes in art, math, and cryptology~from the battlefronts of ancient Greece to the frontiers of cyberspace. Part history, part hands~on puzzle book, this remarkable chronicle spans more than two millennia of creations and covert communications, highlighting the systems, events, personalities, and technical advances that have marked its growth: the torch towers of Polybius; the hilltop semaphore networks of the Chappe brothers; the cipher systems used by Caesar, Napoleon, and other military leaders; the remarkable heritage of Pythagoras, whose insights are thought to have influenced the works of Vitruvius, Fibonacci, Georg Cantor, Kurt Godel, Piet Mondrian, Le Corbusier, and Benoit Mandlebrot, among others; the customs and contributions of the Knights Templar, Pythagorean Christian warriors who used aesthetic codes and logic systems to fulfill their sacred oaths; the mystery~shrouded traditions of the Freemasons, who manifest their symbolic language in the layout and stonework of Washington, D. C.; the evolution of homophonic ciphers from Simeone de Crema to Blaise de Vigenere; the emergence of active code via the work of Alan Turing, the father of modern computer science, and Alfred Scherbius, inventor of the Enigma machine; our migration to "Code Land," where "every object, living creature, human being and shred of imagina'tion is digitized or potentially could be"; and more. Fully illustrated with more than ninety puzzles and solutions as well as a gallery of cipher alphabets, Hidden Codes & Grand Designs is an insightful look at the remarkable ingenuity of codemakers and codebreakers throughout history, and an invitation to challenge our own minds with their legacies.
