BOOK - Sahib, the British Soldier in India, 1750 - 1914
By Richard Holmes
Sahib is a magnificent history of the British soldier in India from Clive to the end of the Empire, making full use of personal accounts of the soldiers who served in the jewel of Britain's Imperial crown.
This is Indian soldiering in peace and war, from the barrack room to storming parties assaulting mighty fortresses, cavalry swirling across open plains and Khaki columns inching their way between hills.
Using archive material from the India Office Library and National Army Museum, Richard Holmes not only illuminates the lives and feelings of the men who served, but also those of the women who followed them across a vast continent, bore their children, and suffered alongside them in the merciless conditions.
What reviewers are saying:
- "(Holmes is) a narrative historian almost without peer and a master at marshalling first-hand accounts... He opens with a magnificent set piece... Thirty-eight tightly packed chapters follow, each crammed with incident and insight" - Spectator
- "Richard Holmes mastery of the British Army is unequalled... A worthy memorial of one of the most extraordinary experiences in British history" - Sunday Telegraph
- "Holmes is adept at describing what it felt like to serve in India -- from the teeming troup deck of an East Indiaman on the voyage out, through the smells of an Indian marketplace, to the experience of barracks and. of course, military engagements" - Sunday Times
- "Holmes is a passionate and richly entertaining champion of the rank and file" - Daily Telegraph
