Ruling Caste Imperial Lives in the Victorian Raj

"Mr. Gilmour is a stylish and engaging writer, but about half of THE RULING CASTE delves into matters of interest only to a specialist....The intricate machinery of government has its fascinations, but the pace picks up when Mr. Gilmour turns to the Kiplingesque tales of shrewd civilians waging diplomatic war with profligate, sometimes insane, Indian potentates or roaming the wild frontier in the name of British civilization."Gilmour, David is the author of 'Ruling Caste Imperial Lives in the Victorian Raj' with ISBN 9780374283544 and ISBN 0374283540.
