The Eyes of Asia consists of four letters written by a fictional soldier of the Indian Army—part of the British Forces in WWI—serving in Europe and Africa. Based on Kipling’s firsthand experience with Indian soldiers, the letters are an intriguing form of fiction and an unusual portrait of these lesser-known combatants in the Great War.
