Map No. G-7A in the TPC series: military topographic survey mapping covering the world's land masses & significant islands at 1:500, 000. The maps are useful as general topographical coverage where nothing else is available, although they are designed primarily as flying charts for military aircraft. TPC stands for Tactical Pilotage Chart. Relief is portrayed by a combination of contours (basic interval 500ft, intermediate contours shown where appropriate), elevation tinting & relief shading, plus spot heights. Towns, villages, major roads, railways & airports are shown but please note that many of the smaller settlements are not named & the road information is not necessarily up to date, as compilation & revision dates vary. Some air navigation information also appears on the map, such as radio beacons & restricted flying zones. Each TPC chart has both UTM & latitude/longitude grids overprinted on it, with additional margin ticks. IMPORTANT
- PLEASE NOTE: The series is gradually being withdrawn from sale to the general public & some sheets may no longer be available when ordered by us. Due to the nature of the map projection assembling these sheets to make a larger map is not recommended. in addition, colours used for relief are not constant throughout the series. In some areas of central Africa & South America the maps have blank spaces, reflecting localized deficiencies or inconsistencies in the survey data.

Located at the intersection of Asia & the Middle East, Afghanistan has been strategically important for thousands of years. Its ancient trade routes & strategic position between India, Inner Asia, China, Persia & beyond has meant the region has been subject to frequent invasions. Modern Afghanistan is a culturally & ethnically diverse country, but one divided by conflict, political instability & by mass displacements of its people. Jonathan L. Lee places the current conflict in Afghanistan in its historical context & challenges many of the West`s preconceived ideas about the country. Lee chronicles the region`s monarchic rules & the Durrani dynasty, focusing on the reigns of each ruler & their efforts to balance tribal, ethnic, regional & religious factions, moving on to the struggle for social & constitutional reform & the rise of Islamic & Communist factions. He offers new cultural & political insights from Persian histories, the memoirs of Afghan government officials, British government & India Office archives, recently released cia reports & Wiki Leaks documents. Lee also sheds new light on the country`s foreign relations, its internal power struggles & the impact of foreign military interventions such as the ` War on Terror`. ...
