"""Sir Gordon puts us vastly in debt by providing Masson's first biography. From this start research may begin to clear up remaining obscurities, yet Masson's personality will probably always remain an enigma."" ADH Bivar, Bulletin of the SOAS, London, Vol. 51, Iss. 3. ""Masson is a figure of great importance in the early exploration of Afghanistan; a biography of him is therefore very welcome."" PHB Baker, South Asian Studies, Vol. 3, Iss. 1 ""Masson, a brilliant deserter from the East India Company artillery, was the first Brit to explore Afghanistan on foot, and became the father of Afghan archaeology-until his former masters discovered his true identity and blackmailed him into becoming a secret agent."" William Dalrymple (the present volume is no. 3 on Dalrymple's list of ""Top 10 on Afghanistan"")"
