Citation Information
IN THE HEART OF ASIA. By Lt.-Col. P. T. ETHERTON. Demy 8vo. With Map. 16s. net.
Colonel Etherton has had a strenuous and picturesque career, having travelled much and dangerously in the wild places of Central Asia. He made a remarkable expedition from India to Russia, through the Pamirs, Turkestan, Mongolia and Siberia, by a route never previously traversed. He is one of the five white men who have ever visited Ordam Padshah, the Mecca of Central Asia.
During the war he served on four fronts and became Consul-General and Political Resident in Chinese Turkestan in 1918, a post which he occupied for five years.
No travel book could have behind it a greater knowledge and experience.
INDIA AS I KNEW IT. By Sir MICHAEL O'DWYER. Demy 8vo. 18s. net.
" . . . A succinct and always well-told story of a long and interesting career, illustrated by happy touches of humour and quaint descriptions of the customs and methods of the peoples. . . . Apart from the political side of this entrancing narrative, there is ample matter in Sir Michael's volume to interest every variety of reader. "—Naval and Military Record.
" Sir Michael O'Dwyer has helped to make history in India during the forty strenuous and momentous years of which he writes. . . . He tells a story and enters a plea which should have no mean bearing on the future. There are tears and tragedy in his pages, and there is also a great moral. The book is the work of one who fearlessly discharged his trust in anxious conditions, only to become the object of censure and misrepresentation."—The Outlook.
" Every one should read this book by one of our ablest and most experienced Indian governors. It is indispensable as a guide to policy."—Daily Mail.
WAZIRISTAN, 1919-1920. By H. DE WATTEVILLE, B.A. (Oxon.). (CAMPAIGNS AND THEIR LESSONS SERIES, Edited by Major-General Sir C. E. CALLWELL, K.C.B.) Large Crown 8vo. 10s. 6d. net.
" The author has a pleasant style, which makes his story easy to read ; his criticisms are made in a very fair spirit, and he deduces sound lessons. The book is illustrated with air photographs, the oblique ones of which give an excellent idea of the type of country in which the fighting took place. "—Royal Engineers' Journal.
" The latest volume of ' Campaigns and their Lessons ' is fully up to the high standard of its predecessors in the well-known series, which is produced under the direction of Major-General Sir Charles Callwell."—The Times.
