Written by military historian Major-General William Napier (1785
1860), and published in 1845, this book describes the conquest of
the Indian territory of Scinde (Sindh), and includes a biographical
sketch of Major-General Sir Charles Napier (1782 1853), the British
Army's Commander-in-Chief in India, and the author's brother.
Napier, whose History of War in the Peninsula and the South of
France is also reissued in this series, describes in detail how
Scinde became inextricably drawn into the sphere of influence of
the government of British India, and the events (including the
First Anglo-Afghan War and its consequences) leading to its
conquest. Napier's interpretation of events was almost immediately
challenged by Sir James Outram in Conquest of Scinde: A Commentary
(1846; also reissued in this series). The Appendices include
extracts from the private correspondence of Sir Charles Napier,
revealing his personal concerns during the course of the campaign
alongside the historical narrative.
