Sobre este artículo
London: Rupert hart-Davis, 1961 London: Rupert hart-Davis, 1961 319 pp with 30 B&W illustrations and 5 maps. "There was nothing inevitable about the politico-military adventure (the British military expedition to Lhasa in 1904) described in these pages. Its main purposes were rooted in fallacy. By the time they were fulfilled they had been forgotten.Its achievements were largely disavowed and its staunch leader censured. Its outward aspect is swashbucking, romantic and clear-cut; its inner history ambiguous and confused; its aftermath unedifying. Over it hangs an air of apology and embarrassment. Of all the little wars that set the frontiers of a great Empire, is the strangiet and most striking. " Peter Fleming. Text is clean, tight and unmarked. The front page edges have some pale brown splashes that do not extend inside. The red cloth boards have several spots. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Hardcover. Good/No Jacket. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.. Hardcover. Good/No Jacket.
