商品簡介
Gurkhas, Nepali soldiers serving in the British and Indian armies, have inspired a considerable literature about their character, quality, and exploits under British command, much of it written by the officers who have selected, trained, and led them in war and peace. The author studies the rhetorical devices used to depict Gurkha regiments and relates them to the wider historical, political, and military contexts affecting the soldiers and their European officers from pre-independence India to recent years.
