Brilliant! Reminds me of the kind of Methuen London textbooks at school which even till the mid 1980s were a Calcutta staple! An era when we could still laugh at ourselves without feeling offended...

Of course also highly educative and sharp analysis.

I do wonder what they said of the INA though...

Yes, I wonder. According to the authors, all these stories came from soldiers themselves, so it’s first hand humour.
