Drawing on untapped new sources, the first global history of the Indian Expeditionary Forces in World War I

While their story is almost always overlooked, the 1.5 million Indian soldiers who served the British Empire in World War I played a crucial role in the eventual Allied victory. Despite their sacrifices, Indian troops received mixed reactions from their allies and their enemies alike-some were treated as liberating heroes, some as mercenaries and conquerors themselves, and all as racial inferiors and a threat to white supremacy. Yet even as they fought as imperial troops under the British flag, their broadened horizons fired in them new hopes of racial equality and freedom on the path to Indian independence.

Drawing on freshly uncovered interviews with members of the Indian Army in Iraq and elsewhere, historian George Morton-Jack paints a deeply human story of courage, colonization, and racism, and finally gives these men their rightful place in history.

The fabric feels soft and noticeably comfortable against the skin
Color: White, Size: Queen
This is a zippered pillow protector made from a bamboo/polyester blend with a quilted surface. I’ve been using it for a few months on a standard queen pillow, including regular washing and everyday use. It’s also been exposed to dog hair, which I’ve been able to manage by vacuuming the surface. Pros The fabric feels soft and noticeably comfortable against the skin Breathable design helps keep the pillow from feeling overly warm Quilted texture adds a bit of cushioning without changing the pillow’s shape Zipper closure keeps the pillow fully enclosed and secure Holds up well after multiple washes Vacuuming the surface works well for removing pet hair Cons White fabric shows dirt and hair more easily between washes Slightly thicker than a basic pillowcase, which may not suit everyone Bamboo blend feel is smooth but not identical to 100% natural fabrics Bottom line: For me, this has been a comfortable, low-maintenance pillow protector that holds up well over time, especially useful if you want something breathable that can handle regular cleaning and pet hair.

Say goodbye to neck pain
Color: White, Size: Queen
This is a very good product but it takes some time to adjust removable stuffing to accommodate individual sleeping patterns.
