About this product

Product Information

John Masters was a soldier before he became a bestselling novelist. He went to Sandhurst in 1933 at the age of eighteen and was commissioned into the 4th Gurkha Rifles in time to take part in some of the last campaigns on the turbulent north-west frontier of India. John Masters joined a Gurhka regiment on receiving his commission and his depiction of garrison life and campaigning on the North-West Frontier has never been surpassed. BUGLES AND A TIGER is a matchless evocation of the British Army in India on the eve of the Second World War. Still very much the army depicted by Kipling, it stands on the threshold of a war that will transform the world. This book is the first of three volumes of autobiography that touched a chord in the post-war world.

    • Historically valuable and very readable

      I was a soldier (in the 60s in Malaya and Hong Kong ) so knew the Gurkhas and this book brought back memories. The book, I think, accurately brings to life the ethos of not only of the Gurkhas in the British Army but also of contempory life in India, the UK and elsewhere in the 30s and 40s.
