✦ Synopsis

John Masters came to the United States following a military career with a Ghurka regiment on India's Northwest frontier and as a serving officer (ultimately brigadier) with Orde Wingate's Chindits in Burma. (See "Bugles and a Tiger" and "The Road Past Mandalay.")

The story of how he becomes both an American and a best=selling novelist ("Bhowani Junction" was the first of a large number of books) makes for interesting reading.

REVIEW

Masters life changed from that of a professional soldier in the British Indian Army to that of a succesful noveslist and screenwriter. He also became an avid Giants (baseball) fan. His book is the best account of the process of Americanization and success that I've read. The third in a trilogy, it is a wonderful book.
