An authorized biography of the novelist John Master (1914-83). Born into a family who had served in India for five generations, Masters had a career in the Indian Army before retiring in 1948 to emigrate to the States and take up writing. This biography provides both a portrait of a character and, through its analysis of Masters' life and novels, an insight into the last days of the Indian Empire. John Clay is a practicing psychotherapist and the author of a biography of the bridge player, Culbertson.
