Philip Mason

    Philip Mason bude spomínaný predovšetkým ako historik, ktorý nepísal vyčerpávajúco akademickú históriu, ale skôr múdru a dobre premyslenú históriu, krásne napísanú a ľahko čitateľnú, ktorá oslovuje ľudí so životnými skúsenosťami. Menej známa, ale nemenej dôležitá bola jeho kariéra vynikajúceho člena Indickej občianskej služby počas 20 rokov pred nezávislosťou Indie. Bol tiež priekopníkom v podpore štúdia rasových a menšinových problémov ako zakladateľ Inštitútu pre rasové vzťahy. Jeho diela, ktoré zahŕňali romány a historické zväzky, často skúmali témy impéria, viery a ľudskej povahy, zanechávajúc čitateľov s hlbokým zamyslením nad zložitosťou histórie a ľudského života.

      An Account of the Indian Army. Its Officers and Men

      4,3(42)Ohodnotiť

      How did a few thousand British troops hold down a subcontinent of 200 million people? In his superb short history of the Indian army, Philip Mason, himself a longstanding officer in the elite Indian civil service, evokes the threads of loyalty that bound the British and the sepoys together until the threads snapped in 1857, and even after that brutal rupture were sewn up again, so that the British influence lingers on in the far larger army that independent India deploys today.

      The Rise and Fall of an Ideal

      The idea of the gentleman is central to the English view of the world. It runs through and illuminates English history at least from the time of Chaucer's parfit gentil knight. For the Victorians, it provided a second religion which underpinned not only daily life, but the whole edifice of empire.
