Profile Image for Robert

Long before the Taleban

This Kipling story takes the reader back to the 19th century on the North West Frontier when colonial and racist atttitudes were the norm rather than the exception. A fascinating fictional trip back in time, if sometimes hard to listen to due to the loud background music.
