Opis

When Lisle Bullen's father is killed in the line of duty, the young man must take full personal responsibility for his life. Too young to enlist, he disguises himself as a native soldier. His exceptional skills and maturity soon find him out. Over the course of three military campaigns, Bullen rises to the rank of Lieutenant in His Majesty's Rutlandshire regiment. After two successful campaigns in Central Asia, Bullen is sent to Ghana in Africa. Will he survive his third campaign? How will he make his way in the world now that his father has passed away? These questions and more will be answered in G. A. Henty's Through Three Campaigns: A Story of Chitral, Tirah, and Ashanti. Set in late nineteenth century England, India, Pakistan, and Ghana, this book includes more than 110 geographical, historical, and explanatory footnotes to aid the modern reader.
