Vol I: The First Battalion; Vol. II: The Second Battalion and Appendices. The standard history of the regiment in the Great War, including ROH, and awards & decorations. Kipling undertook the history of the regiment in WWI following the death in action of his son John at the Battle of Loos whilst serving with the Second Battalion; a personal tragedy from which the author never fully recovered. After five and a half years of research ('done with agony and bloody sweat') the work was immediately recognised as both a military and a literary masterpiece. 'One could be assured that when Mr. Kipling turned his hand to a regimental history the result would be very different to the ordinary. The particular invention wherewith he has enriched this book is a sort of chorus - the comment of the private soldier upon the events narrated, which is witty and effective. Mr. Kipling has also brought to bear his magic upon that most matter-of-fact of records, the battalion war diary, and has made it live. Generally speaking he has composed a noble tribute to the great regiment in the ranks of which he lost his son' (Falls). Enser, p.66;Falls, p.117; Sutcliffe, p.14; White, p. 45.

br. Questo libro è per tutti gli amanti di Kim, il capolavoro con cui Ruyard Kipling celebrò la vita del subcontinente indiano, il "fardello dell'uomo bianco" imperiale e inglese, il duello fra la Corona e lo Zar nel "Grande Gioco", nome reso celebre proprio da lui, per il controllo dell'Asia centrale. Affascinato sin dall'adolescenza da questo strano racconto di un ragazzino orfano e del suo reclutamento nell'Indian Secret Service, Peter Hopkirk ripercorre le tracce di Kim nell'India di Kipling per vedere quanto di esse rimanga e dove portino. Rispetto a un eroe di finzione si tratterebbe di una ricerca vana, ma Kim è molto più di un romanzo inventato, perché fu ispirato da figure e luoghi reali che rendono impercettibile il confine fra verità e immaginazione. Libro di viaggi e insieme detective story letteraria, il libro di Hopkirk riporta alla luce le ombre di un passato pieno di intrighi e di colpi di scena, combina una sorprendente erudizione con una qualità di narratore, e ci consegna un'immagine indimenticabile dell'India di ieri, dell'India di sempre.
