“John Parker discovered the depth of the Gurkhas commitment when he travelled to Nepal, met surviving VCs and talked to many former Gurkha officers and soldiers whose accounts of service in the British Army are filled with excitement... and pride. John Parker's book is a fascinating testimony to a fighting force that stands dramatically apart in British military history.”
