Synopsis

The place is India and the time is the nineteen twenties.

Tommy learns to be Tommy and forgets to be himself, or what his mother told him he should be, because His Majesty's army has sold him in this attack against the militarized man and that organization which controls his thinking and so holds the balance of his fate in its dumb hands.
