Editorial Reviews
Piers Brendon, The Guardian,17 August, 2002
'These essays are wonderfully interesting and entertaining.Probably no historian writing today combines Cannadines' panache, erudition and wit.'
Review
... well argued and full of healthy discussion and observations. This is not only a valuable reference tool, but a piece of scholarship very much worth emulating, particularly for students and researchers of Indian studies. (Contemporary South Asia )
The author meticulously elaborates the key role of the Indian army in maintaining domestic order and internal unity, and also appreciates its professionalism and gallantry. (Contemporary South Asia )
Gordon Marsden, The Independent, 8 September 2002,
'Few historians could make connections between politics and culture as elegantly as Cannadine'.
