About this Item

Two short stories, "The Incarnation of Krishna Mulvaney" and "The Rout of the White Hussars." "The Incarnation of Krishna Mulvaney" is a tale of 3 enlisted British soldiers serving in India who gain a chance at treasure. "The Rout of the White Hussars" relates an incident that the British troops fighting in India would rather not be told. "The Incarnation of Krishna Mulvaney" roughly formed the basis of the 1951 MGM movie "Soldiers Three" directed by Tay Garnett, starring Stewart Granger, Walter Pidgeon and David Niven.
