While the First World War has been best known for trenches, Tommies and war horses on the western front, and more widely for the Australians at Gallipoli or Lawrence of Arabia, the astonishing story of British India’s great contribution of 1914-18 has been neglected : the 1.5 million men of the Indian Army. Extraordinarily, this book is the first single narrative of their remarkably global war, as Hindus, Muslims and Sikhs of Britain’s Indian Empire fought in the mud of Flanders, the steaming jungles of Africa and the baking deserts of the Islamic World.
The Indian Empire at War is a brilliantly original retelling of the First World War, finding the Indian Army's true place at the heart of its global events - from 1914's German invasion of France and the Sultan of Turkey's jihad summoning all Muslims to holy war on the British, to 1918's Allied victory over the Germans and the Turks in Europe, Africa and the Middle East. Using previously unpublished veteran interviews, George Morton- Jack retraces the Indian soldiers footsteps across the continents, revealing their dangerous missions as secret agents, their eye-opening discoveries of foreign cultures and their heartbreaking ordeals as prisoners of war- as well as exploring how they came home with fresh hopes for their families and their country, Playing their part in the story of Indian Independence.
