Gurkha memoir: bravery, tradition, and life under fire.

If you're intrigued by not just battlefield heroics but also the profound human stories behind the uniform, "Gurkha" offers you just that—a raw and honest glimpse into the life and struggles of a true warrior and a look at the cultural backdrop that shapes such soldiers. Colour-Sergeant Limbu's account is not just about his harrowing experiences in Helmand but also a deeply personal journey from the rugged, rustic life in the Himalayas to the disciplined existence of a Gurkha. It's a narrative that brings you face to face with courage, heritage, and an indomitable spirit—something you might find inspiring and eye-opening.
