The British Indian Army

[davidbfpo]

Cited in sections:

Moreman's book on Frontier warfare is good, but tough to find for under $120.

A new title to me,'The Army in India and the Development of Frontier Warfare, 1849-1947' so I looked for details as it was published in 1998. Currently priced at US$205 or E-book US$159 on the publishers US website entry:http://www.palgrave.com/us/book/9780312217037

There is a free 25 pg copy of the opening parts and the entire introduction on:https://secure.palgraveconnect.com/p.../9780230374621

Three reviews here:https://www.amazon.com/Development-F.../dp/031221703X or one in the UK:https://www.amazon.co.uk/Development.../dp/0333695410

One chapter 'Development of Frontier Warfare 1914-39' is available for free on:http://www.king-emperor.com/Frontier...1914-1939.html

Sir Andrew Skeen's Frontier classic, "Passing It On," was reprinted a couple years ago under a different title.

Which is available for free via:http://fmso.leavenworth.army.mil/documents/Skeen.pdf

Missed this one entirely, although long ago I read 'Defeat into Victory' and a biography:

And Field Marshal Slim's "Unofficial History" is a gem. Far less well known than "Defeat Into Victory," it's a collection of stories from his time as an Indian Army officer in the interwar years.
