A vivid account of the bloody rebellion against colonial rule that raged through Northern India in the mid-nineteenth century.
 
In 1857, a mutiny against the British East India Company broke out in the Bengal Army that would soon spread to Delhi and beyond. The cycle of bloody reprisals would continue for a little over two years, leaving countless bodies in its wake.
 
The events of 1857 to 1859 were tragic and momentous. The challenge to British colonial rule was on an unprecedented scale. This book places these grim events into their historical, political, and economic contexts, and the authors’ use of sources including personal accounts brings events of over a century and a half ago vividly to life.
