Col. Cross and his adopted son Buddhiman Gurung are the editors of GURKHAS AT WAR: In Their Own Words: The Gurkha Experience 1939 to Present, a real look at the Gurkhas themselves.

Glad y'all enjoyed it.

Berkley, thank you for bringing up that book. I've been looking for a good one about the Gurkhas.

Also, has anyone read "Valour : A History of the Gurkhas" by E. D. Smith? It looked good to me, but I wanted to check up on it before I invest. Or are there any other reading recomendations?
