The Tower From Within is a book written by George Younghusband and published in 1919. The book is a reflection on the author's experiences during World War I, in which he served as a British officer. Younghusband examines the psychological and spiritual impact of the war on the soldiers, as well as the broader implications of the conflict for humanity as a whole. He argues that war is a manifestation of the human desire for power and control, and that it ultimately leads to destruction and suffering. However, he also suggests that the war has the potential to awaken a deeper sense of purpose and meaning in individuals, and that it can inspire them to seek a more profound understanding of themselves and the world around them. The Tower From Within is a thoughtful and introspective work that offers a unique perspective on the human experience of war.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

It is given to some regiments to spread their achievements over the quiet centuries, while to the lot of others it falls to live, for a generation or two, in an atmosphere of warlike strife and ever present danger. The Guides have been, from a soldier's point of view, somewhat fortunate in seeing much service during the past sixty years; and thus their history lends itself readily to a narrative which is full of adventure and stirring deeds. The story of those deeds may, perchance, be found of interest to those at home, who like to read the gallant record of the men who fight their battles in remote and unfamiliar corners of the Empire across the seas.
