Story
Den anerkendte rejseskribent Karl Eskelund havde ikke sin eventyrlyst fra fremmede, for følelsen af udlængsel delte han med sin far Niels. Som ung rejste Niels til Bangkok, hvor han slog sig ned som tandlæge og blandt andet fik selveste kongen af Siam som fast patient i sin tandlægestol. Siden drev det heftige asiatiske klima ham tilbage til Danmark, men fædrelandet kunne ikke holde på ham i ret lang tid. Sammen med sin hustru vendte han tilbage til Østen, denne gang Shanghai, hvorfra han gennemlevede den forfærdelige anden verdenskrig.

Story
I 1947 bliver Indien et selvstændigt land, og rejsejournalisten Karl Eskelund tager kort tid efter dertil for at berette om nationens genetablering efter Det Britiske Imperium. Ti år efter besøger han Indien for anden gang, og han skriver denne bog om landets udvikling og situation. Hvert kapitel i bogen omhandler et emne eller en problematik, som Indien er konfronteret med i 1967: kastesystemet, overbefolkningen, religionernes betydning, kvinders vilkår, de hellige mænd, fattigdom og politiske spændinger.

Story
The British East India Company dominated the Indian subcontinent, yet they were not secure in their position. Holding unjustified fears that Russia threatened India's north-western border, the Company decided to make a pre-emptive strike and ensure that this menace would be stopped by a strong pro-British Afghanistan. The proud and ruthless warriors of Afghanistan were unwilling to submit themselves to British control and within three years they had risen up against their oppressors in one of the bloodiest revolts in history.

Story
In the early morning of 20th April 1949, HMS Amethyst was fulfilling orders to travel to Nanking to stand guard for the British Embassy during the height of the Chinese Civil War when she was fired upon by guns from the riverbank. Shells pounded into the ship, killing the commanding officer and destroyed the bridge before the ship grounded on the bank. How did the Amethyst escape the battering of Chinese Communist guns?
