Product Description
Product Description
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. Their reputation as fearsome fighting men remains undisputed and the mere threat of their kukri knives has put the fear of God into opposing forces throughout the world.
John Parker's book is a fascinating testimony to the Gurkhas - a fighting force that stands dramatically apart in British military history.

Superb,
By Mr Binod Bista (Bristol, Uk) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Gurkhas: The Inside Story of the World's Most Feared Soldiers (Hardcover)
This is my first read of the Gurkhas and it truely is a remarkable representation of their bravery and heroism. The book first goes into a little history which is really fascinating and will definitely get you hooked. Later it gives accounts of how individual Gurkha's attained their Victoria crosses,it really does give a provocative feeling to the willpower they put in. Truly are the unsung heroes. Can't mention everything here, but I recommend it to anyone interested in the military and Gurkha history.

Ghurkas,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Gurkhas: The Inside Story of the World's Most Feared Soldiers (Hardcover)
When I received this book for christmas I was more than a little surprised as I had never heard of it before. Not knowing what to expect I began to read about the history of these little hillmen.By the time I was a couple of pages through I was hooked. There is so much we do not know about these people that we take for granted as servants of the British army. For anybody interested in Military history this is a must read.
