In a time when westerners still spoke publicly about ""the white man's burden"", Harold Lamb was crafting action-packed stories featuring Arabs, Mongols, and Hindus as heroic, sympathetic, and believable characters. Assembled in this volume are four novellas and three short stories gleaned from the work of one of the greatest pulp writers.
Harold Lamb (1892¿1962), who wrote biographies and screenplays as well as historical fiction, is best remembered for his tales of Cossacks and crusaders.
