Forty-One Years in India: From Subaltern to Commander-in-Chief

The hardcover shows wear, particularly on the spine and corners, indicating its age and use. There is an inscription by a previous owner, Gordon W. Hewes, dated 1971. The book does not have a dust jacket, and while the binding appears intact, some signs of shelf wear and aging are present. A crossed-out stamp suggests a previous institutional ownership, but it is not an ex-library copy.
