Lions Led By Donkeys covers the 1891 Anglo-Manipur War — palace coups, scheming princes, and a short, sharp British imperial war of conquest on India's northeast frontier. Classic LLBD territory: an obscure colonial conflict driven by command arrogance and political miscalculation, told with their usual irreverence.
