Description
Book SynopsisIn a time when westerners still spoke publicly about ""the white man's burden"", Harold Lamb was crafting action-packed stories featuring Arabs, Mongols, and Hindus as heroic, sympathetic, and believable characters. Assembled in this volume are four novellas and three short stories gleaned from the work of one of the greatest pulp writers.
Trade Review“Long before multiculturalism became a byword for political correctness, Lamb appreciated an authentic form of it. He once described why he wrote on the people and societies of Asia: ‘It all came out of an intense irritation over the fact that all history seemed to draw a north-south line across Europe, through Berlin and Venice, say. Everything was supposed to have happened west of that line, nothing to the east. Ridiculous, of course.’”— John J. Miller,
