On the Irrawaddy, A Story of the First Burmese War

by G. A. Henty

This book follows the story of a young British officer during the First Burmese War, a conflict that proved far more challenging than initially anticipated. The narrative highlights the harsh realities of war in a tropical climate, the logistical difficulties of fighting in unfamiliar terrain, and the resilience of the Burmese people in resisting colonial expansion. It's a tale of courage, hardship, and the complex dynamics of imperialism.
