Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book recounts the candid observations of a British military officer living and serving in India in the early 1800s. This memoir is a critique of the arrogance exhibited by some British military personnel towards their native Indian counterparts, and the subsequent social challenges and loneliness that accompany this myopic perspective. It is also a meditation on the existential dread and resulting self-destructive behaviors common to expatriate military personnel abroad, and a commentary on the superficiality of military life. The author's reflections on life and death will resonate with any reader who has ever grappled with their own mortality or felt the ennui of everyday life.
