''By far the best single-volume description of the mutiny yet written'' - Economist

A beautifully written and meticulously researched narrative history of the great Indian uprising of 1857 by one of our most acclaimed living historians. First published in 1978 and re-issued with a handsome new cover for the 2002 paperback edition.

Industry Reviews

In June 1857 rebellious Indians besieged the cities of Cawnpore, Delhi and Lucknow, instigating one of the most serious insurrections suffered by any British colonial government. British soldiers were executed after being given promise of safe passage, innocent women and children suffered the same fate on surrender. Only after bitter struggle was the mutiny suppressed by the end of the year and subsequently the administrative powers of the East India company reverted to the safe-keeping of the crown. Hibbert describes these dramatic events in a thoroughly researched and beautifully written book which provides a splendid evocation of British India in the 19th-century. There are vivid and often amusing portraits of the characters who ran the country and moving evocations of the conditions which inspired their subjects to risk all. (Kirkus UK)
