Great Mutiny : India 1857

‘‘ ‘By far the best single-volume description of the mutiny yet written.’ —The Economist ‘A good book can always be expected from Christopher Hibbert, but this time he has excelled himself.’ —Sunday Telegraph ‘A first-rate book, well researched, beautifully written, and so exciting that I had difficulty in laying it down.’ —Philip Magnus in the Sunday Times ‘Wholly absorbing—a history book that reads as compellingly and entertainingly as a novel.’ —Robert Nye in the Scotsman ‘Masterfully combines accounts of sieges and battles with vivid details of private lives.’ —Washington Post
