Their ferocity is as legendary as their loyalty to the British
Monarch and their regimental histories are crammed with acts of
incredible bravery and sacrifice. The Gurkhas' particular
reputation as fearsome fighting men remains undisputed and the mere
threat of their kukri knives has put fear into the hearts of
opposing forces throughout the world. The Gurkhas have been on the
British frontlines since 1815 and these small but extraordinarily
tough fighters have demonstrated their courage ever since, in
battles ranging from the Indian Mutiny through Afghanistan to
Kosovo. John Parker has fully updated his bestselling book to
include the Gurkhas' recent operations in Africa and to celebrate
their successful campaigning for British citizenship. His book is a
fascinating testimony to a fighting force that stands dramatically
apart in British military history.
