Description: SIGNED Book BETWEEN TWO WORLDS: A RAJPUT OFFICER IN THE INDIAN ARMY, 1905/21 You are considering an oversized or trade paperback book, BETWEEN TWO WORLDS: A RAJPUT OFFICER IN THE INDIAN ARMY, 1905-21 by DeWitt C. Ellinwood, Jr.; PUBLISHER: Hamilton Books, Lanham; a 2005 copyright; 679 pages. Inscribed by the author Between Two Worlds: A Rajput Officer in the Indian Army, 1905-21 describes two societies in early twentieth century colonial India? the British governmental and military society and the regional Rajasthan aristocracy. The book portrays life in the peacetime cantonments of Mhow (1906-14) and New Delhi (1918-19), on the Western and Mesopotamian fronts of World War One, and on the Northwest Frontier (1919-21) during the Pathan uprising. The story is tied together by the pioneering experiences of Captain (later Major-General) Amar Singh, an aristocrat of Jaipur state. Singh's personal story, revealed through the diary that he kept throughout his adult life, details Indo-British cultural collaboration. Amar Singh was, unwittingly, an excellent ethnographer of Rajput society, extensively recording family tensions, marriages, estate development, and the decadent lives of Rajput princes. Singh, in 1905, was among the first Indians given an officers' commission in the British Indian Army. However, it was not until 1917 that he received his full officer commission. CONDITION:. No known damage. Items paid by Paypal can only be mailed to the address shown on the Paypal payment. I'm sorry if this is an inconvenience, but this is a Paypal rule, not me trying to be difficult. If you wish to have the package sent to a different address, change the "ship to" before making payment. I combine shipping whenever possible. PAYPAL REQUIRES UNIQUE TRACKING NUMBERS FOR each PAYMENT. If you buy a book, then make payment, then buy another book and make payment, I must ship each separately so we have two tracking numbers. If you wish to have items combined to reduce shipping costs, request an invoice after you have made all your purchases. Multiple Paypal payments means multiple packages--again, it's a Paypal rule, not me being difficult. We are not set up for LOCAL pick-up. We've tried it in the past and had too many "no shows".
