Description: In the MEN AT ARMS series. Covers the Victorian military expeditions which helped shape modern India. Examines the variety of native dress, uniforms and weaponry used by the tribes residing in the area between Bhutan, Tibet and Burma, and the novel tactics used by the British to subdue them.
Synopsis: Despite the fact that it was events on the North-West Frontier which perennially awed and captivated Victorian audiences, British India's North-East Frontier saw at least as much military activity. Even the heroid 11-day defence of the isolated outpost of Kohima against overwhelming odds - fewer than 200 British-officered troops against perhaps 6,000 Nagas - failed to capture the public imagination. Today, after the passage of another century, Britain's numerous campaigns and conquests in Assam and the surrounding hills have faded even further into the mists of obscurity. This fascinating text by Ian Heath examines the peoples and places of the North-East Frontier.
