The Gurkhas

The Gurkhas

by Byron Farwell (Author), Byron Farwell (Author)

Synopsis

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.
