Opis

The Second World War was not fought by Britain alone. India produced the largest volunteer army in world history: over 2 million men. In this book, we hear the myriad voices of ordinary Indian people, from the first Indian to win the Victoria Cross, the nurses in Indian General Hospitals to labourers and their families in remote villages.
