First edition. " …a comprehensive history with good detail of operations in the Chin Hills, Naga Hills, Abor, Lushai etc." (Perkins) Shakespear himself led the punitive expedition to Yachumi village in 1900, and was commander of the force sent against the Kuki Rebellion in 1917-9. A very good copy of this work which, as Perkins says, is " …seen only rarely."

Just a touch rubbed, endpapers differentially browned, slightly cracked between frontispiece and title page, a very good copy.
