“From John Masters, author of two previous Readers Book Club successes, “Fandango Rock” and “The Venus of Konpara”, comes the nest intimate instalment of his own life-story begun so brilliantly with ‘Bugles and a Tiger”.  The Road Past Mandalay describes his evolution from bachelordom to marriage and how a dashing young lieutenant rises to the command of an infantry brigade in the Burma jungle.
Against the vivid background of many eastern countries, he comes closer to his fellowmen than do most people.  As a fighting soldier, he sees men – husbands, fathers and lovers – in their glories and their hardships.”
