Sinopsis

With the Madras European Regiment in Burma.The British Empire?s first Jungle war.This is a fascinating book. It is the first-hand account of an officer of the Madras European Regiment of the Honourable East India Company?s Army - which is a rarity in itself. It concerns the First Burma War - a subject of much interest to students of Indian military history, about which virtually nothing is currently available. The war was a bloody and savage business of pitched battles, ambushes, sieges and the storming of timber stockades, it was a war of gunboats against war canoes - and always there was the impenetrable, nightmare jungle, a formidable opponent in its own right. Butler?s text is supplemented by a history of the Indian Army at this time to provide background and context to this remarkable account.
