Online Books: removal of items w/out reviews
This title is one of more than a dozen contemporary accounts of battles in India and Asia which Leonaur have brought back into print in attractive, affordable versions. The books are OCR versions of the originals and it should be noted that in the case of ''Galloping guns'', and possibly also the other titles, software recognition failures have not been corrected.
