Review
This book about the valour is a very powerful and almost complete stories about the tales of gurkhas. The valour states all the 10 gurkha regiments and tell the events of everyone of them in the theatre of war.When i got down to read it i was so enthralled by the heroic tales and bravery of these courageous men that i skip my lunch and dinner. I was keen to finish the book and to look for the next title on gurkhas. It' s an excellent book overall. A must read for all those interested in military. --By Dilip Rai
