Bengal lancer di Francis Yeats-Brown
Some what a memoir, but a very romanticised one. It made a movie for Gary Cooper and established a vision of Injah that Hollywood loved...Bill Slim in "Unofficial History" has a great critique of the vision 'cause he was there, and John Masters, also an old Indian Army man doesn't like this book either.
This is another book of the history of Turkey up to WWI and talks about the massive killings of Armenians
I found the earlier parts on life in an Anglo-Indian regiment very interesting. I cared less for the mystical part at the end.
