Lt. Col. Bob Edwards (USAF Ret.) brought his considerable talents to an oft-overlooked sphere – the Lee-Enfield rifles of India. Few people outside of India have any knowledge of the Indian Army; many Lee-Enfield collectors simply don’t know about India’s immense (and overlooked) contributions during the Great War (1914-1919) and World War II (1939-1945). Bob Edward’s tackles both topics, dividing his book into chapters that open with a historical summary of a particular time period, then moving on to the individual weapons produced, modified or developed in India during that time.

Based on fifty years of collecting and more than 2000 pieces, Bob Edward’s India’s Enfields presents information you won’t find elsewhere in a very readable format, organized within 300 years of British and Indian history that played out first on the vast sub-continent of India, then on to the world stage.

This book is another Enfield out-of-print unobtainum. Not on Amazon, AbeBooks, Alibris, Biblio or any of the rare and out-of-print booksellers. I have one spare. Yours if you want it.
