Description

The Road Past Mandalay : A Personal Narrative by John Masters. "In the foreword to the first volume of my autobiography, Bugles and a Tiger, I wrote - 'The purpose of this book . . . is to tell the story of how a schoolboy became a professional soldier of the old Indian Army. In the course of the story I hope to have given an idea of what India was like in those twilit days of the Indian Empire, and something more than a tourist's view of some of the people who lived there." The Road Past Mandalay carries the narrative through to the end of the Second World War. Its purpose is to tell the story of how a professional officer of the old Indian Army reached some sort of maturity both as a soldier and a man. Some parts of the story are very unpleasant - so was the war it records; others are almost painfully personal - but this is not the a battle diary; this is the story of one man's life. Of death and love I cannot say less with honesty or more propriety.' The book has light to medium general wear with a slight slant and bumps but internally a tight and bright copy.
