This six-volume History of the Indian Mutiny was first produced in
1890 by Colonel George Malleson (1825 1898), who combined Sir John
Kaye's History of the Sepoy War in India with his own later work.
Kaye (1814 1876) was a prolific writer of biography and history who
started the Calcutta Review in 1844. His use of first-hand
evidence, collected from personal and professional contacts,
supports (perhaps predictably) his assertion that the rebellion is
a story of British 'national character', and the narrative is
illustrated with biographical and personal anecdotes. Malleson's
contributions however are derived from his controversial 'Red
Pamphlet' (1857) and other writings, in which he is unafraid to
criticise or praise British troops and administration as the
occasion demands. Volume 1 contains the first three books, covering
introductory remarks on political, military and religious history;
a description of the Sepoy army; and the outbreak of the Mutiny.
