Newly illustrated throughout with contemporary maps, portraits,
photographs and engravings, this is G.B. Malleson's concise and
authoritative account of the Indian Mutiny of 1857. This detailed
version of the events of 1857-58 is based on the evidence of the
time, using the official documents, personal letters and private
journals of those who experienced the insurgence first hand.
Originally published in 1891, it describes the causes of the
rebellion, its main protagonists, the sieges, battles and
skirmishes and its aftermath from a Victorian perspective. From the
massacre of Cawnpore, the siege of Delhi to the final relief of
Lucknow, this book follows the soldiers of the British East India
Company from the first sparks of unrest to the final bitter
conclusion of the war. Today, many consider the Indian Mutiny and
the ruthless treatment of the rebels and the complete humiliation
of their leaders by the British, the beginning of the end for the
British Raj. It took another 90 years before India won the
independence it so desperately wanted.
