Opis

Once upon a time there was a dictionary, complete with anthropological footnotes, which recorded the culture and language of the Chin people; but the dictionary was ignored by the incoming Baptist missionaries and forgotten for a century, perhaps because its creator refused to condemn the Chins' animist religion. This is the story of Surgeon-Major Arthur Newland, the pioneering photo-journalist who gave the Chins their written language; of his Chin wife Sina and their son Major Sam Newland D.S.O., hero of the wartime "Z Force Johnnies"; of the missionaries who converted the Chins to Christianity and of the Chin people themselves, a complex feudal society living in one of the most inaccessible regions on Earth.
