Gurkha: The illustrated history of an elite fighting force

Gurkha- their very name conjures up terror in the enemy as the recent Falklands Conflict demonstrated. Originally stout antagonists of the British in India, these soldiers from the Kingdom of Nepal joined with their aggressors to form an association unique in military history. Gurkha is their story, telling not only of military exploits but of details of everyday life of the Gurkha, all illustrated with over 130 pictures.
