Kipling’s Indian Adventure

How did Rudyard Kipling go from being a 16-year-old cub reporter to the most celebrated writer in the English language, in just a few short years? Author and former soldier Patrick Hennessey uncovers how the surprising early adventures of the young Kipling shaped a writer who, far from being an apologist for Empire, became one of the most acute and disturbing chroniclers of British India.
