This work presents an account of the several battles fought by the most effective regiments of India before the First World War. The Army in India was mainly composed of Sikhs, Pathans, Punjabi Musalmans, and Gurkhas. Each of these races held a high prestige for courage and military skill in its own way. Reginald Hodder details the famous wars that the brave native regiments of India took part in. He describes the war in Scinde, the first Sikh war, the third Afghan war, the battle of Dargai, and many more. Hodder begins with short introductions to the various regiments in the Indian Army during the period. He writes that almost a third of the Indian Army comprised Sikhs. They were not precisely a race but military and religious caste. The Pathans originated from the Afghan race and inhabited the hills of the northwest border of India. The Punjabi Musalmans were the earliest residents of Punjab, and their firm characteristics were uppermost in that region. They were Rajput and Jat by race, but their clans were numerous. This work is a must-read for anyone interested in knowing the role of the Indian Army in history.

Seoul - the capital of a divided country whose southern part developed from a war-ravaged poorhouse into one of the world's leading economic powers within a few decades. Sam-sung, Hyundai and LG are global brands that everyone knows. The cultural heritage of this Asian tiger and Korea's magnificent landscapes are far less well known. Seoul is a high-tech city. Its citizens live under the spell of smartphones. Its history was shaped by kings, monks, wars, heroes and sacrifices.

Ever since the middle of November last there has been on the West front in the present war what many have called and considered a "deadlock." In the account which follows of that part of the campaign represented by the battles in Flanders the true character of the great and brilliant military scheme by means of which, and against apparently impossible odds, the Allied commanders succeeded in reducing the main fighting forces of Germany to impotence, and in defeating the purposes of the invasion, will, I hope, become clear. The success or failure of that scheme depended upon the issue of the Battle of Ypres. Not only was that great battle the most prolonged, furious, and destructive clash of arms yet known, but upon it also, for reasons which in fact disclose the real history of this struggle, hung the issue of the War as a whole. No accident merely of a despot's desires caused the fury and the terror of Ypres. It was the big bid of Prussian Militarism for supremacy. Equally in the terrible and ghastly defeat it there sustained Prussian Militarism faced its doom.
