Abstract
THIS is an account of the adventures of an Afghan sirdar in the course of a journey from his native country to Mecca. The journey may be performed in two ways—the shorter, the sea route via Karachi or Bombay, or the longer way, round through Afghanistan, Persia, Iraq, and the Arabian desert to the City of the Prophet.
Westward to Mecca: a Journey of Adventure through Afghanistan, Bolshevik Asia, Persia, Iraq and Hijaz to the Cradle of Islam.
By Sirdar Ikbal Ali Shah. Pp. 224 + 12 plates. (London: H. F. and G. Witherby, 1928.) 12s. 6d. net.
