Gurkha – Kailash Limbu

For the first time in its two-hundred-year history,
a soldier of the Brigade of Gurkhas has been given permission to tell his story in his own words. Reading this memoir makes the reader come to understand why the Gurkhas are known as ‘the bravest of the brave’.
‘I was completely bowled over by Kailash’s book and read it with a beating heart and dry mouth. I felt as though I was at his side, hearing the shells and bullets, enjoying the jokes and listening in the scary dead of night. The skill
with which he has included his childhood and training is immense; it actually felt as though I was watching, was IN a film with him. It brought me nearer than I have ever been not only to the mind of the universal soldier but to a hill boy of Nepal and a hugely impressive Gurkha. If you want to know anything about the Gurkhas, read this book, and be prepared for a thrilling and dangerous trip’
