Scarce, interesting, vintage hardcover. This is the history of the Gurkhas - their forefathers are the warrior tribes who settled in Nepal in the 3rd century. Their first defeat came in 1816, by British troops. From then, the Gurkhas formed the elite corps of the British Indian army. The text is solid and intact. But boards and DJ are damaged, torn and worn. Certainly suitable as a reading copy. Book measures 8.5” x 6”, 128 pages. (SW1) (10B)
