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 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 6
examines the non-military aspects of the Mutiny, and the response
of Anglo-Indian civilians to the revolt and to its aftermath. It
also contains a comprehensive index.
