The Scarlet Sword by H E Bates
In Kashmir, a small expatriate community seek shelter from the fighting in a Catholic mission. But the tribesmen who sweep down from the hills are bent on rape and massacre. And the mission is in their path. For ten days, the inhabitants suffer occupation, before finally being liberated by the British Army. But even when surrounded by chaos and senseless destruction they still manage to find hope - in God, in action, in each other.
'An inspiring study of fear and heroism' - Daily Telegraph
H.E. Bates was the author of the bestselling Darling Buds of May series. Equally famous for his war fiction (such as The Purple Plain and Fair Stood the Wind for France), The Scarlet Sword, ranks among his finest novels.
