Very Good+ in Good jacket ----- hard cover, a solid Very Good+ copy, in a chipped and torn dustjacket, looks quite presentable now that it is in a hi-quality mylar protector, small name stamp on verso of front cover, 312 pages, b&w photos and line dr ------------------------------- Although listed by the seller VG+, the spine is broken. More like a G/G.

Masters wrote three books of autobiography. This is the first. I read the second (The Road Past Mandalay, his WW II years) last year. This one covers the years from his enrollment at Sandhurst to the start of the second world war. It is a story of conflict, but not simply battles. It is the conflict within the young man, born in India but not Indian; a British officer but not in the British army; his love of India and understanding that the place he loved was bound for change. |
