This book goes beyond the normal boundaries of military history. Travelling extensively in Nepal, John Parker has met many Gurkhas to investigate the background to their traditional service to Britain and the threat that this is now under. He recounts famous battles during which these fighters collected a huge number of VCs, earning worldwide admiration.
The book chronicles the life in Nepal and the Gurkha clan in general. The author has very beautifully mentioned the heroics and general behavior of Gurkha soldiers in conflicts ranging from Gallipoli-Egypt-Iraq-Italy-East Timor- Sierra Leon-Kosovo-Iraq-AfghanistanGurkhas to Britishers have been an instrument of power projection anytime-anywhere. At times they won skirmishes through their reputation without firing a single shotHardcover in good condition
