Kaye's and Malleson's History of the Indian Mutiny of 1857-8 (Paperback)

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 2 covers Delhi history and the spread of the revolt from Meerut to Allahabad and Cawnpore, concluding with the battle of Najafgahr and the siege of Delhi.
