🔽 Book review and notes 🔽

Probably a self published book, but has an interesting and original view on the matter of Nepal, its position between Britain and India.
The author seems to feel it a mission to correct previous historians' fake stories, or misunderstandings, so I should have known the general or previous understanding of Anglo-Gurkha relations to appreciate this book.

This doesn't really teach you the general history Anglo-Gurkha Relations, but it does make you realise how important Nepal has been in our history and how it's been neglected.
It claims that the world has been misled because of the strong Indian and British influences.
I must find a regular history book on Nepal first.
