"Lord Roberts has written a book that will attract, and indeed has already attracted, a very considerable amount of attention. He and his father spent nearly ninety years in India. Of these almost fifty belong to his father, while the remaining forty-one have been spetn there by himself, and cover the periods of the Mutiny and the Second Campaign in Afghanistan, during which he made his own celebrated march from Kabul to Kandahar. The book is essentially a soldier's book, and ought to be read by every young ambitious soldiers who wishes to understand the secret success in the profession of arms."
