Inhaltsangabe

An account of all the forces in India during the last 90 years of the British Raj. It includes information on the organization of the Indian Army, the Khyber Rifles and Skinner's horse, the pageantry of the Imperial Assemblage and the brothels of Lucknow. It also includes such events as the Singapore Mutiny, the great venereal epidemic which hospitalized more than half the British soldiers in India and the Amritsar massacres which shocked the world in 1919. Farwell's description of the Japanese inspired Indian National Army demonstrates how Britain's firm grip on its Indian sword slipped in the last days of the Raj. The author has written nine books, histories and biographies including "Burton: a Biography of Sir Richard Francis Burton" and "The Gurkhas".
