Over more than two decades in the British Army, he has been on the front line of the fighting in Helmand Province, on risky resupply missions and operations in Sierra Leone, and shared moments of peace and happiness with his brothers in the mess. All these experiences have shaped a man of rare honesty, courage and humility. In The Gurkha Way, he shares the moments that made him, the lessons he has learned and the principles at the heart of the Gurkha mindset, so that readers too can conquer adversity, find their inner strength, embrace life's challenges and lead with honour.Captain Kailash Limbu was born in 1981 in Khebang village, one of the most remote in the whole of Nepal.
