The Man Who Would Be King by Rudyard Kipling

adventurous funny reflective

4.0

This book is so funny.  It focuses on the exploits of two British male friends in what is now modern day Afghanistan. Like the themes in this type of sub-genre , its women (in this case from the  indigenous population) that thwart the colonists ambitions to rule over their people.  They lust after them and say they look like British women.  That's their hubris,  women.
