Wakhan Quadrangle by the German researcher examines the Wakhan region across Afghanistan, Pakistan, Tajikistan, and China, highlighting knowledge production during the Great Game. Hermann Kreutzmann emphasizes “indigenous intermediaries,” especially Munshi Abdul Rahim, whose 1879–1880 journey report is central. The book contextualizes his overlooked contributions and explores subsequent historical developments and contemporary life in Wakhan.
