Not a guide-book or a history, its author insists, but the plain story of more than thirty years in the Burma service. White recalls early postings, the Secretariat, the frontier, the taking of Mandalay, Lord Dufferin’s visit and the first year after annexation, with sketches of Burmese life and character and of floods and famine relief.
A first-hand record of British rule in Burma, written with the outlook of an imperial administrator. Download the free EPUB.
