This book will tell who the Gurkhas are and where they come from. It will describe their manners, customs, and character, and their history as soldiers, with special attention to their unique skills and remarkable valor. Their story is as colorful and as romantic as that of the French Foreign Legion, and yet it has never been fully or adequately told.

The Gurkhas
This book is a splendid little history of these people who even to today serve with distinction in the British Military. Farwell, as usual, writes a book that is a pleasure to read while at the same time is most informative. The book covers from 1815 when the British pushed into Nepal through the Indian Mutiny, the First and Second World Wars, until the 1980's. (An updated edition would have been nice but then Farwell passed before such a thing could be written.)
