Rudrangshu Mukherjee places the 'soldier-peasant' at the forefront
of the Revolt. Violence has rarely been described with so much
realism and subtlety. The imaginative use of primary source
materials adds clarity to accounts such as the massacre in
Satichaura Ghat and the trial of Mangal Pandey. The layers of
complexity that defined the relationship between the rulers and the
subjugated are also exposed.
The revolt of 1857 continues to arouse interest and debate. This
book, first published in 1984 and now in paperback for the first
time, remains one of the best studies of popular resistance and
peasant rebellion. This revised edition features a new
introduction, which provides an update on the historiography of
peasant revolt. The author also charts some of these changes and
their relevance to a deeper understanding of the uprising of
1857.
"With this rich and interesting ensemble of essays, we finally have a handy sourcebook of Gandhi's writings."—The Journal of Asian Studies.
