Lives Of A Bengal Lancer

In The Lives of a Bengal Lancer, F. Yeats-Brown tells how, as a young and callow subaltern, eighteen years old, he set sail for India to join the colonial English Army. He lived through incredible accidents and dangers to tell this story of his lives- his life as a hard-riding soldier, his mystic life in the cult of Yoga, his life as a sportsman with his horses and dogs and hunting and polo, and his prison life in an underground cellar in Constantinople.
