Woodthorpe Re\u003c\/b\u003e (Author)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIndia's north-west frontier was famously a source of trouble and strife to the rulers of British India. But, as this book amply shows, the north-eastern borders of the Raj was almost as turbulent. This is the account of a British punitive expedition against one particularly restless people, the Lushai, in 1871-2. The author, Lieut R.G. Woodthorpe was a Royal Engineers officer, engaged on surveying India, when the expedition was mounted and he was invited to join. Woodthorpe gives a detailed description of the appearance, customs and history of the Lushai before describing the expedition under General Bourchier itself. The book is a valuable account of the activities of a typical British Field Force so common in late Victorian times. Illustrated with two engravings and a map.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 352\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.94 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 20, 2006\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45982337138823,"sku":"9781847344151","price":80.64,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/b1F4t0yaMS9781847344151.webp?v=1790848257","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/lushai-expedition-n-e-india-1871-2-hardcover","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
