Philip Mason

Philip Mason, (19 March 1906 – 25 January 1999), was a British civil servant in India and writer. After a career in the Indian Civil Service which was cut short by Indian independence, he returned to England to take up farming and writing, later becoming involved in the nascent field of race relations. He is best known for his two-volume book on the British Raj, ''The Men Who Ruled India'' (written under the pseudonym 'Philip Woodruff', the latter being his mother's maiden name), and his study of the Indian Army, ''A Matter of Honour'' (1974).
