Darkest India (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781438573472)

Frederick Booth-Tucker was commissioner to India for the Salvation Army. Darkest India: A Supplement to General Booth's "In Darkest England, and the Way Out" was written as an introduction of Booth's In Darkest England and the Way Out. An excerpt from the preface reads, "Leaving to the care of existing agencies those whose bodies are diseased, General Booth's scheme seeks to fling the mantle of brotherhood around the morally sick, the destitute and the despairing. It seeks to throw the bridge of love and hope across the growing bottomless abyss in which are struggling twenty-six millions of our fellow men, whose sin is their misfortune and whose poverty is their crime, who are graphically said to have been "damned into the world, rather than born into it."
